Psalms 139:12-16 in English

¹² Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

¹³ For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother’s womb.

¹⁴ I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.

¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

¹⁶ Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them.

¹² A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.

¹³ I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy ones.

¹⁴ Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
