(A)Where shall I go from your Spirit?
    Or where (B)shall I flee from your presence?
(C)If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
    (D)If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
If I take the wings of the morning
    and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall (E)lead me,
    and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, (F)“Surely the darkness shall cover me,
    and the light about me be night,”
12 (G)even the darkness is not dark to you;
    the night is bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light with you.

13 For you (H)formed my inward parts;
    you (I)knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]
(J)Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.

  1. Psalm 139:14 Or for I am fearfully set apart

Where can I go from your Spirit?
    Where can I flee(A) from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens,(B) you are there;
    if I make my bed(C) in the depths, you are there.
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.
