Psalm 139
Lord, thou hast searched me
God knows every path and thought; lead me in the everlasting way.
Excerpt
Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me: thou hast known my sitting down, and my rising up. … If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.
