Psalm 139
Depth in Translation

Divine Intimacy and Total Knowing

Oh Lord, thou hast searched me out for intimacy. Known me as a wife for a husband.

Thou knowest the depths of my strengths and weaknesses. My life experiences, my DNA, my hurts, triumphs, insecurities and intentions, bad or good – He has known forever and yet He still loves me.

You understand my thoughts before they ever were, you understand why I think like I do.

God’s Understanding and Refinement

You have chipped away all of me until only the round cut diamond remains.

A life so scattered, but your perfection reigns in all my imperfection made perfect.

Embraced in Weakness

You know when I want to quit, even die, and yet in my distress you make it gain.

Everything I’ve ever spoken you know it all, before even the thought you know my heart and still love me.

Predestined Love and Purpose

You have besieged me, cut me and pressed me for the future, before anything was made. Predestinated to set me in place, to collect me, and make me your equal in glory.

Knowing this is exceedingly abundantly above all I ask or think.

Inescapable Love

There is no escape, your love has imprisoned me.

I am your everything, your desire is toward me. Whether Heaven or hell, our bed is always waiting. Your right hand holds me as your equal for I was taken out from a great number.

The pearl of great price, the choice one of my mother.

You cannot deny yourself of me. You make all my darkness light. You are the lamp unto my feet.

Chosen and Treasured

You created, bought and obtained all my emotions. Oh, I will praise thee.

I am made to reverence and honor you. Distinct, marked out, and set apart only for the Husband. You made me distinguished and extraordinary for you.

My soul knows the force and abundance of you directing all the emotions and affections of my heart, my reins are in your hands.

Pre-Written Destiny

You knew my body and heart before time. You have hidden me beneath a veil of many colors. Your death and resurrection have given me your glory.

You authored and finished my faith. You saw me in love and set me apart from the beginning. All of it written before I ever was.

Fulfilled in Union

You commanded your love to me. All things fashioned and created for me. All the good works that I would walk in them.

Your desire for me was before all things. You foreknew I would be with you.

Your thoughts are my sole value and meaning. I am your prize. I will bring you your power.

Completion and Eternal Increase

Your will has brought me to the highest.

I am the entire purpose of your thoughts.

Filled with all your fulness. Through your grace in me I complete you. My life in the Word of your grace brings complete perfection.

And those thoughts will forever increase in all the exceeding riches of the ages of your grace.
