You, and you alone,
have looked on me long enough
to know my soul.
You know the minutiae of my mundane,
the sinking, the rising;
the thoughts that occupy me,
dark to dark.
You seek both my footfalls
and my resting breath
with equal concern;
no way of mine is an
unknown quantity to you.
Before my thoughts take tone,
leave lip,
you know them for what they are,
even what I intend them to be.
You envelop me,
I am surrounded by your care.
Nothing in my heart or mind can grasp
the beauty of knowing this,
knowing you, Mystery.
---Psalm 139:1-6 (para. laca)
