Psalm 139:11-21
New International Version
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark(A) to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;(B)
you knit me together(C) in my mother’s womb.(D)
14 I praise you(E) because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,(F)
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made(G) in the secret place,
when I was woven together(H) in the depths of the earth.(I)
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained(J) for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a](K) God!(L)
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,(M)
they would outnumber the grains of sand(N)—
when I awake,(O) I am still with you.
