Psalm 139:16-18
Modern English Version
16 Your eyes saw me unformed,
yet in Your book
all my days were written,
before any of them came into being.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them,
they are more in number than the sand;
when I awake,
I am still with You.
Psalm 139:16-18
New International Version
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained(A) for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a](B) God!(C)
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,(D)
they would outnumber the grains of sand(E)—
when I awake,(F) I am still with you.

Psalm 139:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible
16 Your eyes watched me before I was born.
Before I had seen the light of day,
you decided how many days I would live!
You wrote it down in your book.
17 You have so many thoughts about me, God,
that I cannot understand them all.
18 They are too many for me to count,
more than the sand on the shore of the sea.
Even if I finished counting them,
you would still be there!
