Psalm Chapter 139 - To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David

Psalm 139: Known, Held, and Led Everlasting

This script presents Psalm 139, a prayerful meditation on God’s complete knowledge and constant presence. The psalmist marvels that the Lord knows every action, thought, and word, surrounds him “behind and before,” and cannot be escaped whether in heaven, the depths, or the farthest sea, since even darkness is as light to God. He praises God for forming him in the womb, for being “fearfully and wonderfully made,” and for God’s intimate awareness of his unformed substance and days yet to come. The psalm then turns to a plea for God’s judgment on the wicked and a rejection of those who oppose God, ending with a humble request: “Search me,” test his heart, reveal any wicked way, and lead him in the everlasting way.
