Psalm 139 - Lead me, O Lord, in the way everlasting

A recording of Responsorial Psalm 139. I love the poetic descriptions in this one. It's one of my favourites. It reminds me of how perfectly held I am by God.

Responsorial Psalm
Ps 139(138):1-3. 7-8. 9-10. 13-14b. ℟24b

Lead me, O LORD, in the way everlasting.

O LORD, you search me and you know me.
You yourself know my resting and my rising;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
You mark when I walk or lie down;
you know all my ways through and through. 

Lead me, O LORD, in the way everlasting.

O where can I go from your spirit,
or where can I flee from your face?
If I climb the heavens, you are there.
If I lie in Sheol, you are there. 

Lead me, O LORD, in the way everlasting.

If I take the wings of the dawn
or dwell at the sea’s furthest end,
even there your hand would lead me;
your right hand would hold me fast. 

Lead me, O LORD, in the way everlasting.

For it was you who formed my inmost being,
knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I thank you who wonderfully made me;
how wonderful are your works. 

Lead me, O LORD, in the way everlasting.
