From the recording The Seeking Soul
I first fell in love with this psalm when I lived in Austria during the mid-1970's. My first real knowledge of it was in German.

Psalm 139

Vagrant’s Chapel Music
You’ve searched me, O God, and you know me.
You know when I sit and I rise!
You know every entrance and exit I make;
You know every scheme I’ve devised.
You know every scheme I’ve devised.
Chorus
I cry Holy! Holy!
I rise on the wings of the dawn!
I cry Holy! Holy!
Your presence is ever my song!
Where can I go from your spirit?
Where can I flee from your day?
Ascending the heavens, descending to depths;
Your presence surrounds me always!
Your presence surrounds me always!
Search me and fathom my heart, Lord.
Know when my anxious thoughts stray.
Straighten whatever is crooked in me;
And lead me to walk in your way!
And lead me to walk in your way!
