Favorite Bible Verse: Psalm 139 - 1 For the leader. A psalm of David. O LORD, you have probed me, you know me: 2 you know when I sit and stand; you understand my thoughts from afar. 3 My travels and my rest you mark; with all my ways you are familiar. 4 Even before a word is on my tongue, LORD, you know it all. 5 Behind and before you encircle me and rest your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is beyond me, far too lofty for me to reach. 7 Where can I hide from your spirit? From your presence, where can I flee? 8 If I ascend to the heavens, you are there; if I lie down in Sheol, you are there too. 9 If I fly with the wings of dawn and alight beyond the sea, 10 Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand hold me fast. 11 If I say, "Surely darkness shall hide me, and night shall be my light" -- 12 Darkness is not dark for you, and night shines as the day. Darkness and light are but one. 13 You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you, so wonderfully you made me; wonderful are your works! My very self you knew; 15 my bones were not hidden from you, When I was being made in secret, fashioned as in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes foresaw my actions; in your book all are written down; my days were shaped, before one came to be. 17 How precious to me are your designs, O God; how vast the sum of them! 18 Were I to count, they would outnumber the sands; to finish, I would need eternity. 19 If only you would destroy the wicked, O God, and the bloodthirsty would depart from me! 20 Deceitfully they invoke your name; your foes swear faithless oaths. 21 Do I not hate, LORD, those who hate you? Those who rise against you, do I not loathe? 22 With fierce hatred I hate them, enemies I count as my own. 23 Probe me, God, know my heart; try me, know my concerns. 24 See if my way is crooked, then lead me in the ancient paths.
