Opening Sentance
Now everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.. . . . 1 Corinthians 9:25 (LSB)
Always be joyful, pray continually;
give thanks, whatever happens.
Psalm 139
- Lord you have searched me out and known me:
you know when I sit down and when I stand up,
you discern my thoughts from afar. - You mark my path, and the places where I rest:
you are acquainted with all my ways. - Even before there is a word on my tongue:
You Lord know it altogether. - You guard me from behind and before:
and cover me with your hand. - Such knowledge is too wonderful for me:
so high that I cannot attain to it. - Where shall I go from your spirit:
or where shall I flee from your presence? - If I climb up to heaven you are there:
if I make my bed in the grave you are there also. - If I take the wings of the dawn:
and alight at the uttermost parts of the sea, - even there your hand will lead me:
and your right hand will hold me fast. - If I say 'Let the darkness cover me;
and my day be turned to night,' - the darkness is no darkness with you,
but the night is as clear as the day:
for darkness and light to you are both alike. - It was you that created my inward parts:
and put them together in my mother's womb.
- I will praise you, for you are awesome and wonderful:
marvellous are your works, and you know me through and through. - My body was not hidden from you:
when I was being fashioned in secret,
and woven together in the depths of the earth. - You eyes looked at my body:
while it was as yet imperfectly formed. - In your book all the days of my life were written:
while as yet there was not one of them. - How deep are your thoughts O God:
and how great is the sum of them. - If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:
to finish the count, my life-span must needs be equal to yours. - O that you would kill the wicked, O God,
and the bloodthirsty would depart from me - - those who speak of you maliciously,
and lift themselves up against you for evil! - Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? - I hate them with perfect hatred:
I count them my enemies. - Examine me O God and know my heart:
test me, and discover my thoughts. - Watch closely, lest I follow a path of error:
and lead me in the way everlasting.
