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 netherworld
Sheol, behold, dYou are there. 9 If I take up the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand will elead me,
And Your right hand will take hold of me.
11 If I say, “Surely the fdarkness will ▼
▼Lit bruise; some commentators cover
overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,”
12 Even hdarkness is not dark ▼
▼Lit from
to You, And the night is as bright as the day.
jDarkness and light are alike to You.
13 For You kcreated my innermost parts;
You lwove me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will give thanks to You, because ▼
▼Some ancient versions You are fearfully wonderful
I am awesomely and wonderfully made; nWonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
15 My ▼
▼Lit bones were
pframe was not hidden from You When I was made in secret,
And skillfully formed in the qdepths of the earth;
16 Your reyes have seen my formless substance;
And in sYour book were written
All the tdays that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.
