Psalms of Prayer

Psalm 139

God's Omniscience and Omnipresence

Description

David marvels at God's complete knowledge of him—every thought, word, and way—and His inescapable presence everywhere. He concludes by inviting God to search and lead him.

Key Verses

O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
