Psalm 139A: Psalm 139:1-8

Holley, L.M. [G]

1. 1 LORD, Thou hast searched me; 2 Thou hast known
My rising and my sitting down;
And from afar Thou knowest well
The very thoughts that in me dwell.

2. 3 Thou knowest all the ways I plan,
My path and lying down doest scan;
4 For in my tongue no work can be,
But, lo O LORD, 'tis known to Thee.

3. 5 Behind, before me, Thou dost stand
And lay on me Thy might hand;
6 Such knowledge is for me too strange
And high beyond my utmost range.

4. 7 Where shall I from Thy Spirit flee,
Or from Thy presence hidden be?
8 In heav'n Thou art, if there I fly,
In death's abode, if there I lie.
