Psalm 139

This is actually based on Psalm 139; some of the words are altered and some added by me.
For SATB choir, piano, flute, string quartet and glockenspiel.
The string solos represent the SATB parts.

Lord, you have searched me
Lord, you have known me
You are inside me
And all around me
You discern my thoughts from afar.

You search out my path
You watch as I lie down
You know all my ways,
know all my ways.

Lord, you have searched me
Lord, you have known me
You are inside me
And all around me
Your hand rests upon my head.

You walk before me,
You walk behind
You watch from above,
lift from below.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me.

Where can I go where You are not?
Where can my eyes turn,
In what direction?
North, south, here, there,
East, west, near, far,
Length, breadth, depth, height,
That's where You are:

If I ascend to heaven You are there,
there at my side.
If I suffer pain and sorrow
You are by my side.
And if I ride the wings of morning,
You are there.

Alleluia, Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia!

(north south, east, west,
up down all around,
that's where You are,
that's where You are!)
