Psalm 139 Re-Written and Explanations
Lord, you have scrutinised me
And your knowledge of me is
Greater then I could possibly imagine.

You know my every move before I make it,
And every place I go before I’m there.

Your spirit can be sensed in every kind of atmosphere,
Showing me the path through the world of darkness
When I am lost; as you do not fear the unknown like me
But the unknown fears you.

Your arms are always open to me,
You find me when I hide
And save me from my fears.

Lord, your mighty power has placed me on Earth.
With how you have planned my life
You show your love for me.

The choices I make are to live up
To your expectations,
To show my love for you.

I pity the ones that stray from you,
The ones that criticise my trust and belief,
The trust and belief I have for
You and your ways.

God, test me as you please
My heart is true to you
Make clear the path to enlightenment
And everlasting love.

Themes and explanation

God knows you more then anybody, even more then you know yourself. God is creator of all; therefore he sees all and knows all.
God is everywhere; you can’t hide from him in a world he created. He can see you in the darkness and is willing to help the lost, troubled and misguided; no matter where you are from and no matter who you are.
God is our creator, the Lord has given us everything we know of; he has made us the way we are through our mother. God knows all about our life stories, how we were made and where we came from so he does not discriminate.

Characteristics of God

God is all knowing, as he created everything with intentions for things to ultimately be the way things are.
God is a leader, strong and caring; as he is not afraid of the dark, to lead and show others the true way.

Attitude towards God

The perspective of this Psalm towards God is very intimate and close. It gives off very positive images towards God’s way of life as well.

Relations with the Author

    The Reformed churches explain it as the “light of nature and the works of creation”. Secondly, God is known because “it pleased the Lord, at sundry times and in diverse manners, to reveal himself and to declare his will unto his church.

    God is an omnipresent force that sees and knows all. Normally, He would be watching us humans, not the other way around. However, for He is the great force that creates and plots all, people are able to see his actions.

The Woods and their friends did not heed the warnings of the wildlife and Native Americans and stayed in the area, for ignorance is bliss.

    We know that God created each of us as individuals that have their very own unique qualities. Everyone has their own identity, their own thoughts and their own way of perceiving things. God created us all in his image but he also gave each of us a little something different. We were created the way that God wanted us to be and nothing or nobody can change what is on the inside because it was put there by God.…

    Since he has the confidence of knowing that God exists he can be able to inquire the certain knowledge he wants to obtain. He also says that without God we will never have certain and true knowledge and since the plays out the role of certainty and truths that play in our lives than the acquisition of knowledge is extremely important. In the Third Mediation it says, “But perhaps I am something greater than I myself understand, and all the perfections which I attribute to God are somehow in me potentially, though not yet emerging or actualized. For I am now experiencing a gradual increase in my knowledge, and I see nothing to prevent its increasing more and more to infinity. Further, I see no reason why I should not be able to use this increased knowledge to acquire all the other perfections of God……

    Many evangelists are and have encouraged a God who doesn’t know each detail concerning what will happen in the future. To me it is totally absurd. From the book of Jeremiah 1:5 the Lord tells Jeremiah that He knew him before He formed him in the womb and before he was set apart. He appointed him as a prophet to the Nations. This to me only affirms that God is Foreknowledge thus He knows the future. Not only this but also in the book of Isaiah 48:3, ‘’I foretold the former things long before, announced by my mouth and I made them known then suddenly acted and they came to pass.’’(Old Testament NIV…

    Psalm 139 is a strong passage about our worth and value. It is a passage about hope and the omnipresence of God. The first verse sets the tone for the entire chapter. God has known me. There was never a time when he did not know me. If God cared enough about me to lay out the plan for my creation long before and to be a part of every aspect of our lives now and the future, then we must have great worth in God’s eyes. God chose to create us in His image. WMy value is not found in what I do. My value is not found in my job. My value is not found in the ministry I serve in. My value is not determined by others. My value is determined by God alone.…
