Psalms 139:3

Psalms 139:3. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

"Thou hast put a ring round me both in my stayings and my goings. I go to sleep, but thou dost not sleep. I cannot think of thee while I slumber, but thou dost think of me, and thou ‘ art acquainted with all my ways.’"

"Great God, thy penetrating eye

Pervades my inmost powers;

With awe profound my wondering soul

Falls prostrate, and adores.

To be encompass’d round with God,

The holy and the just;

Arm’d with omnipotence to save,

Or crush me into dust !

Oh, how tremendous is the thought !

Deep may it be impress’d !

And may the Spirit firmly grave,

This truth within my breast !"
