A collection of Psalm 139 songs inspired by a bible chapter with some of the most popular verses. For example,
“O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.”
“Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.”
“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.“
“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.“
There are many worship songs that are inspired by Psalm 139. Here are a few of my favourites:
139 by New Creation Church Singapore
Chasing shadows in the dark Pursuing empty dreams Threw my words into the wind Trying to find release With my heart and soul laid bare When I met Your kindness there Love is drawing me near to You And it all goes back to You Yeah, it all goes back to You And it all goes back to You Your face shines on me Shines on me Everything just fades away Shining through my darkest days Life and times are in Your hands The canvas for Your dreams Paint Your brushstrokes on this heart Reveal Your masterpiece Though I cannot see it all Lord, Your name is whom I’ll call As You’re drawing me near to You If I climbed to the sky You were there, You were there Kneeling down in valleys low You were there, You were there If I flew on morning’s wings, In the distance there I’d see You were reaching You were reaching out to me

Psalm 139 – Far Too Wonderful by Shane and Shane
You wrote the story of my life
You go before you fall behind, yeah
Before a breath beyond my death
you are with me all the way to everlasting
Oh I can't run, I can't hide
Even darkness is a light
From the lowest place to the highest praise
You are worthy
Amazing love how can it be
Far too wonderful for me
There's only one thing left to say
You are worthy, oh
Search me God and know my heart
Try me, know my anxious thoughts, yeah
Find the weakness in me and lead me in the way Everlasting
You formed me in my mother's womb
You know my frame, my flesh, and bone
Oh, how wonderfully made
Oh I can't describe it's way too hard
You see me through and through
and call me loved
What a wonderful grace, oh
Psalm 139 by MercyMe
This song reminds me of country music.
You have searched me and you know me
You're familiar with all my ways
You have placed your hand upon me
With such a knowledge I can't attain
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I make my bed in the depths
If I go up to the heavens
You are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on the far side of the sea
Even there your hand will hold me fast
Even there your hand will guide me
You are there
I will sing
Sing a new song
Because you love me
I will sing
Sing a new song
Because you're there
Psalm 139 – Wonderfully Made by Danielle Rose
Lord you search me and you know me
When I sit and when I stand
You understand my thoughts from afar
Behind and before me
Your hand is there to guide me
Too wonderful for me, this knowledge is beyond my reach
Before a word is on my tongue
You know it all before it has begun
I praise you God that I am fearfully, wonderfully made
I praise you God that I am fearfully, wonderfully made
Where can I hide from your presence?
Where can I flee from your face?
If I climb to the heavens, you are there
If I lie in the grave, you are there
If I take the wings of the dawn
Or dwell at the sea's furthest end
Even there, your hand would guide me
Your right hand hold me fast
For you, night is as the day
For you, light and darkness are the same
In secret, as in the depths of the earth
You formed my inmost being
My very self you knew
My bones were not hidden from
You knit me in my mother's womb.
Psalm 139 by Michael W Smith
Listen to Michael W Smith read the Psalm out loud. Goosebumps!
Psalm 139 by Sarah Reeves
Like Michael W Smith, Sarah Reeves narrates Psalm 139 but she accompanied it with a song in the background. Quite interesting.
I hope this list helps you “chew” on Psalm 139 and “taste” the awesome power and wonder of our Abba God.
We have come to the end of this post. I hope you have found what you are seeking. If not, keep looking. For Jesus said,
9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Luke 11:9-10 WEB
For God so loved you, He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross for you. You are precious to Him.
