Psalm 139 Project Vs. 17

Verse 17

How precious also are Thy thoughts to me, O God!

How vast is the sum of them!

Complete Jewish Bible – God, how I prize Your thoughts! How many of them there are!

Contemporary English Version – Your thoughts are far beyond my understanding, much more than I could ever imagine.

The Message – Your thoughts – how rare, how beautiful! God, I’ll never comprehend them!

The thoughts of the Almighty

Priceless,

Unthinkable for me.

Like a work of art

That brings millions

To its doors,

To stand and admire

At a distance,

To study and examine

At arms’ length.

To get closer than that

Would be

Too much for us to take.

They are like the magnificence

Of the rarest work

By a master

No one can replicate.

Many will attempt

The mimic

But not succeed,

Precisely because

We did not create

The thoughts.

We cannot understand them.

The ultimate beauty

Of the plan

Conceived by

The ultimate

Master.

I stand just behind

The roped off section

Soaking in the

Absolute

Opulence

Of the very thoughts of

The Almighty.

So moved that

This masterpiece

I stand in awe of

Is

The sum of

The thoughts of the Almighty

Towards

Me.
