Psalm 139:5-12
New International Version
Psalm 139:5-12
New International Version
5 You hem me in(A) behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,(B)
too lofty(C) for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee(D) from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens,(E) you are there;
if I make my bed(F) 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,(G)
your right hand(H) 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(I) to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
Psalm 139:5-12
King James Version
Psalm 139:5-12
King James Version
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
