Scripture

Psalm 139, select verses O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. …Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. … Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
