Psalm 139:1-12

 1 You have searched me, LORD,
   and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
   you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
   you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
   you, LORD, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
   and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
   too lofty for me to attain.
 7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
   Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
   if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
   if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
   your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
   and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
   the night will shine like the day,
   for darkness is as light to you.

A timely reminder that God sees everything - the minor freakout outside the examination hall, the monotony of placing IDs on the top left corner of the desk, the rows of ziplock bags on the floor, the pounding of our hearts during reading time, the rubbing of eyes in tiredness/ennui, the panic, the gladness, the confidence, every elegant clear argument, every silly glaring mistake.

So there should be no fear. (:
