Today's Psalm reading comes from Psalm 139 of David. I'm amazed that the psalmist knew the Lord so intimately. I am reproducing the entire text below, for it's a joy to read.
Lord, you have probed me and you know me; you know when I sit and when I stand; you understand my thoughts from afar. My journeys and my rest you scrutinize; with all my ways you are familiar.
Where can I go from your spirit? From your presence, where can I flee? If I ascend to the heavens, you are there; if I sink to the nether world, there you are.
If I take the wings of dawn and dwell beyond the sea, even there your hand guides me, and your right hand holds me fast.
You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother's womb. I praise you that I am wonderfully made; wonderful are your works.
