Psalm 139

Psalms for Praying

Nan C. Merrill

  

O my Beloved,

You have searched me

and known me.

You discern my innermost thoughts.

You find me on the journey and

guide my steps;

You know my strengths 

and my weaknesses.

Even before my words rise up in prayer,

Lo, you have already heard

my heart call.

You encompass me with love

where'er I go,

and your strength is my shield.

Such sensitivity is too wonderful

for me; it is high: 

 boundless gratitude

is my soul's response.

   

 

How wonderful to begin Thanksgiving morning with the beginning of the beautiful Psalm 139.  I will stay with this psalm for a couple more days.  May each of you know you are blessed, loved, and known.  May you share this and every day with someone close to you.  Happy Thanksgiving.
