See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 139:1-24
O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Where can I Go from your spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
Even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
All the days ordained (注定)for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
Do I hate those who hate you, O Lord, and abhor those who rise up against you?
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
This psalm is concerned with God's all-knowingness and 'everywhere-presentness', not in an abstract, but in a highly personal way.
If God knows everything, he knows me through and through, even my thoughts.
I will align myself with him in the flight against evil. Let him search out and deal with all that is wrong in me.
Why?
The Lord knows me everything. I praise the Lord for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. It is not because what I can do, or who I am.
Hate those who hast God, abhor those who against God. We love people with love but also with the righteousness of God.
My destiny has been written in the book of God.
How?
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Praise the Lord
