Psalm 139:7-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Where can I go from your spirit?
Or where can I flee from your presence?(A)
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.(B)
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me fast.(C)
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and night wraps itself around me,”[a](D)
12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is as bright as the day,
for darkness is as light to you.(E)
13 For it was you who formed my inward parts;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.(F)
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
that I know very well.(G)
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.(H)
16 Your eyes beheld my unformed substance.
In your book were written
all the days that were formed for me,
when none of them as yet existed.[b]
Psalm 139:7-16
New International Version
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee(A) from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens,(B) you are there;
if I make my bed(C) 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,(D)
your right hand(E) 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(F) to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;(G)
you knit me together(H) in my mother’s womb.(I)
14 I praise you(J) because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,(K)
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made(L) in the secret place,
when I was woven together(M) in the depths of the earth.(N)
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained(O) for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
