Yada

Psalms 139 [Verse 1] Adonai, You have searched me, You have known me You know my sitting down before I do Before a word has risen to my lips, Lord Already it is wholly known to You You hem me in, before me and behind me Your hand rests on me like a sheltering vow Such knowledge is too wonderful, too lofty Too high to grasp — and yet You hold me now [Chorus] Chaqar — You have searched me Yada — You have known me Behind, before, Your hand rests over me There is nowhere I could go from Your presence, Lord Yada — You have loved me Chaqar — You have found me Yada [Verse 2] Where could I go to flee from Your own Spirit? Where could I run from Your searching face? If I climb to heaven — You are there, Lord To the depths below — still You embrace If I rise upon the wings of morning Dwell beyond the farthest, darkest sea Even there Your hand would lead and keep me There is nowhere I could go from You [Chorus] Chaqar — You have searched me Yada — You have known me Behind, before, Your hand rests over me There is nowhere I could go from Your presence, Lord Yada — You have loved me Chaqar — You have found me Yada [Verse 3] For You formed me in my mother's body Every hidden part was known to You In the darkness You were there and watching Knitting me together, thread by thread Niflaot — Your works are full of wonder I am fearfully and wondrously made How precious are Your thoughts to me More than grains of sand their sum would be [Chorus] Chaqar — You have searched me Yada — You have known me Behind, before, Your hand rests over me There is nowhere I could go from Your presence, Lord Yada — You have loved me Chaqar — You have found me Yada [Bridge] Chaqreni — search me, God Know my heart, Lord, try me now See the anxious thoughts within See if there is any wickedness Lead me in the everlasting way [Chorus] Chaqar — You have searched me Yada — You have known me Behind, before, Your hand rests over me There is nowhere I could go from Your presence, Lord Yada — You have loved me Chaqar — You have found me Yada
