Psalm 139:1-18 KJV

3 Thou compassest my path and my
lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my
tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and
before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful
for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy
Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou
art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead
me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

shall cover me; even the night shall be Light about me.

thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and The Light are both alike to thee.

thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my
soul knoweth right well.

thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned,
when as yet there was none of them.

thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

things: He knoweth what is in the darkness, and The Light dwelleth with Him.

what should we do?
Joshua 1:8 KJV

written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and
then thou shalt have good success.

not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of
sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

The Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his
season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are
like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not
stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the
righteous.
6 For The Lord knoweth the way of
the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be
