God’s Omnipresence and Omniscience.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
O LORD, you have asearched me thoroughly and have known me.2 You aknow when I sit down and when I rise up my entire life, everything I do;You bunderstand my thought from afar. Matt 9:4; John 2:24, 253 You ascrutinize my path and my lying down,And You are intimately acquainted with all my ways.4 Even before there is a word on my tongue still unspoken,Behold, O LORD, You aknow it all. Heb 4:135 You have aenclosed me behind and before,And You have bplaced Your hand upon me.6 Such infinite aknowledge is btoo wonderful for me;It is too high above me, I cannot reach it.
7 aWhere can I go from Your Spirit?Or where can I flee from Your presence?8 aIf I ascend to heaven, You are there;If I make my bed in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) , behold, bYou are there. Rom 11:339 If I take the wings of the dawn,If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,10 Even there Your hand will alead me,And Your right hand will take hold of me.11 If I say, “Surely the adarkness will cover me,And the night will be the only light around me,”12 Even the adarkness is not dark to You and conceals nothing from You,But the night shines as bright as the day;bDarkness and light are alike to You. Dan 2:22
13 For You aformed my innermost parts;You bknit me together in my mother’s womb.14 I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;aWonderful are Your works,And my soul knows it very well.15 My aframe was not hidden from You,When I was being formed in secret,And intricately and skillfully formed as if embroidered with many colors in the bdepths of the earth.16 Your aeyes have seen my unformed substance;And in bYour book were all writtenThe cdays that were appointed for me,When as yet there was not one of them even taking shape.
17 How precious also are Your athoughts to me, O God!How vast is the sum of them! Ps 40:518 If I could count them, they would aoutnumber the sand.When bI awake, I am still with You.
19 1O that You would akill the wicked, O God;bGo away from me, therefore, cmen of bloodshed. Is 11:420 For they aspeak against You wickedly,Your enemies btake Your name in vain. Jude 1521 Do I not ahate those who hate You, O LORD?And do I not bloathe those who rise up against You?22 I hate them with perfect and utmost hatred;They have become my enemies.
23 aSearch me thoroughly, O God, and know my heart;bTest me and know my anxious thoughts;24 And see if there is any awicked or hurtful way in me,And blead me in the ceverlasting way.
