12. God Ever Present
Psalm 139
Leader reads the plain lines; the congregation reads the bold lines.
O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
See if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
