Psalms 139:7-16
7 aWhere can I go from Your Spirit?Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 bIf I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in ▼
▼ I.e. the nether world
Sheol, behold, dYou are there.9If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
10Even there Your hand will elead me,
And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
11If I say, “Surely the fdarkness will ▼
▼ Lit bruise; some commentators read cover
overwhelm me,And the light around me will be night,”
12Even the hdarkness is not dark ▼
▼ Lit from
to You,And the night is as bright as the day.
jDarkness and light are alike to You.
13For You kformed my ▼
▼ Lit kidneys
inward parts;You mwove me in my mother’s womb.
14I will give thanks to You, for ▼
▼ Some ancient versions read You are fearfully wonderful
I am fearfully and wonderfully made;oWonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
15My ▼
▼ Lit bones were
,
qframe was not hidden from You,When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the rdepths of the earth;
16Your seyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in tYour book were all written
The udays that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.
