[If] I take the wings of the dawn [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11
And if I say, Surely darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night;
12
Even darkness hideth not from thee, and the night shineth as the day: the darkness is as the light.
13
For thou hast possessed my reins; thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.
14
I will praise thee, for I am fearfully, wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.
15
My bones were not hidden from thee when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lower parts of the earth.
16
Thine eyes did see my unformed substance, and in thy book all [my members] were written; [during many] days were they fashioned, when [as yet] there was none of them.
17
But how precious are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18
[If] I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.
19
Oh that thou wouldest slay the wicked, O God! And ye men of blood, depart from me.
