5
You have hemmed me in both behind and in front and laid your hand on me.
6
Such wonderful knowledge is beyond me, far too high for me to reach.
7
Where can I go to escape your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8
If I climb up to heaven, you are there; if I lie down in Sh'ol, you are there.
9
If I fly away with the wings of the dawn and land beyond the sea,
10
even there your hand would lead me, your right hand would hold me fast.
11
If I say, "Let darkness surround me, let the light around me be night,"
12
even darkness like this is not too dark for you; rather, night is as clear as day, darkness and light are the same.
13
For you fashioned my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14
I thank you because I am awesomely made, wonderfully; your works are wonders -I know this very well.
15
My bones were not hidden from you when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
