Psalm 139:2-18
New International Version
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;(A)
you perceive my thoughts(B) from afar.
3 You discern my going out(C) and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.(D)
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.(E)
5 You hem me in(F) behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,(G)
too lofty(H) for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee(I) from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens,(J) you are there;
if I make my bed(K) in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,(L)
your right hand(M) will hold me fast.
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(N) to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;(O)
you knit me together(P) in my mother’s womb.(Q)
14 I praise you(R) because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,(S)
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made(T) in the secret place,
when I was woven together(U) in the depths of the earth.(V)
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained(W) for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a](X) God!(Y)
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,(Z)
they would outnumber the grains of sand(AA)—
when I awake,(AB) I am still with you.
