Psalms 139:7-17

7 1Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where 2shall I flee from your presence?
8 3If I ascend to heaven, you are there! 4If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall 5lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, 6"Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,"
12 7even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.
13 For you 8formed my inward parts; you 9knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a] 10Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
15 11My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in 12the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your 13book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious to me are your 14thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
