Like a muddied spring or a polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked.
Proverbs 25:26
You Know Me
O Lord, you have searched me,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
You know it completely, O Lord.
You hem me in – behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
Psalm 139:1-6
From Heaven the Lord Looks Down
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry
host by the breath of his mouth.
He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the
deep into storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the
world revere him.
For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes
of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations. Blessed is
the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.
From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind;
from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—
he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
Psalm 33: 6-15
Listen To Me
Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not ignore it.
Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord.
But whoever fails to find me harms himself ;
all who hate me love death.
Proverbs 8:33-36
