Jehovah, Sovereign God, always existing, one true God.
You have searched me - when I rise up in the morning, where I sit during the day, wherever I am, always.
You perceive, understand and know my thoughts. You recognize my ways and are familiar with them - my daily paths of life, my manners, my habits, my moral character.
You know what I will say, before I do. This is way too much for me to understand, to comprehend. Yet, this is from your word, so I believe it's true.
How do you hem me in? How is your hand upon me? Please let me recognize this today.
Your presence is everywhere, in the heavens, in the depths of the valleys and oceans. At the dawn of each new day, you are there. You are here, and if I travel to the farthest sea, you're there. You're light is in darkness; you illuminate even darkness.
You made me, created and formed me, reverently, honorably, respectfully, wonderfully. I was not hidden from you. You saw my unformed body. All my days were written in the past, before I was born.
Oh Sovereign Creator, thoughts of you are precious, yet I can't comprehend all of you.
You knew me before I was, you know me today, tomorrow.
Search me. My mind. My heart. Examine, scrutinize, test and prove me.
In all of my anxieties and thoughts that disquiet me, show me where I think wrong.
Look, consider, distinguish my ways and show me my wickedness, unrighteousness, my sorrow and my idols.
Lead me in the way everlasting for I am confident that you, Father, who began the good work of your salvation in me and sealed me with your Holy Spirit will complete what you started.
Lead me in your way everlasting. Amen.
