Psalm 139: Rev Dr God does a history and examination, diagnoses and recommendation.  

1: To David’s choir director for an instrumental:

You have investigated** me.

And You know me.

2: You knew my resting place (permanent address).

And my rising up (principles I stand for).

You discerned my (pasturing) thought* from the past (old or deep memory).

3: You disrupted (piel of dispense) with my well-trodden paths (habits) and my sleeping.

And You made (yourself) familiar with all  my ways.

4:  For there is not an utterance /matter on my tongue – Behold! Yehoweh, You know it all together!

5: Behind/before and in front/east/future, You have beseiged me and You cup your palm over me.

6: This is (too) incomprehensible, elevated knowledge for me to be able to (get) it.  

7: Where can I walk from Your Spirit?

And where can I flee from Your Face?

8: If I ascend into a heaven/sky, there You are!

If I cause my bed to be made in a Sheol (an underworld), behold You!

9: If I lift up wings (on a) morning and and lodge at the other end of a sea (eg fly and stay in an overseas hotel)

10: Even there Your hand causes me to be led, Your right hand grips me.

11: And I say, “Surely darkness overwhelms me”.

And night (is) light for my sake / about me.

12: Indeed darkness is not caused to be dark from You. 

And night is caused to shine like day. 

Like darkness, Like light.

13: For You had purchased my kidney / mind/ emotion.

You overshadow me in my mother’s womb.

14: I cause praise Over You.

Reverentially I was distinguished. Your work is to distinguish and my soul is to know that very well.

15: My frame was not concealed when I was fashioned, embroidered in the nether land.

16: You saw my embryo with your eyes and in your  book is written not ONE of them (but) ALL the days –– fashioned for me. 

17: And to me how precious is Your god(ly) (pasturing) thought*. How ossified (bony strong) they are – they (are) principled (primary, leading, first).  

18: I count them – they are greater than sand!

I caused to startle-awake and I am still with You.

19: O God, if you kill wickedness, then turn away a bloody man from me

20: who speaks machinations of You, vainly lifting up Your adversaries.

21: Do I not hate Your haters, Yehoweh?

Do I not make myself disgusted by those who stand up against You?

22: I hated them with complete hatred.

They became my enemies.  

23: Investigate** me, god and know my heart.

Examine me and know my anxieties

24: and see if there is an idolatrous path in me

And lead me in an everlasting path.  

 

Prayer: O Great Physician, You confirm my address, take my history – including  my developmental and psychological and psychiatric  issues – and examine me externally –  and internally scope me shining a light under anaesthesia. You stay with me as I wake up. You make a unique diagnosis and I accept Your reverential recommendations and avoid supporters of your adversaries. Your disgusting and vain adversaries are my adversaries. And unlike a doctors appointment, there is no time limit and I don’t have to leave. My Doctor is also my Pastor. You lead me forever!
