Today’s Prayer - Psalm 139:14
I am Fearfully & Wonderfully Made.
Psalm 139:1-24 (NKJV)
1 - O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
2 - You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.
3 - You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 - For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
5 - You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me.
6 - Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.
7 - Where can I go from Your Spirit? or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 - If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 - If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 - Even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.
11 - If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” even the nigh shall be light around me;
12 - Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13 - For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 - I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.
15 - My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 - Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet they were none of them.
17 - How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
18 - If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You.
19 - Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
20 - For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain.
21 - Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22 - I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.
23 - Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties;
24 - And see if there is any wicked in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
