Psalm 139

Month Two of my goal of memorizing a chapter of Scripture every month, is already gone! I can't believe it's so quickly March 1. Here is Psalm 139 from memory, as best I can remember.

O LORD, Thou has searched me and known me.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; thou understandest my thought afar off.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down; Thou art acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but lo, O LORD, Thou knowest it altogether.
Thou hast beset me behind and before and laid Thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high I cannot attain unto it.
Whither shall I go from Thy spirit and whither shall I flee from Thy presence.
If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, Thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning or dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea
Even there Thy hand will lead me and Thy right hand will guide me.
If I say, Surely darkness will cover me; the night shall be light about me,
Yea, the darkness hideth not from Thee; the night shineth as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to Thee.

For Thou hast possessed my reins; Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise Thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Thy works, O God, and that my soul knoweth right well.
I was not hid from Thee when I was made in secret and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see me, yet being unperfect and in Thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were formed when as yet there was none of them.
How precious, also, are Thy thoughts towards me, O God, how great is the sum of them.
If I should number them, they would be more than the sand; and when I arise, I am still with Thee.

Care to join us in memorizing Romans 6 in March?
