Psalm 139:7-18

English Standard Version

^7 (A)Where shall I go from your Spirit?
    Or where ^(B)shall I flee from your presence?
^8 (C)If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
    ^(D)If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
⁹ 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.
^15 (K)My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in ^(L)the depths of the earth.
¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your ^(M)book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me,
    when as yet there was none of them.

¹⁷ How precious to me are your ^(N)thoughts, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
^18 (O)If I would count them, they are more than ^(P)the sand.
    I awake, and I am still with you.
