Psalms 139:2-17

²Thou indeed knowest my sitting down and my rising up, thou understandest my thinking while yet afar off.

³My walking and my lying down hast thou limited, and with all my ways art thou acquainted.

⁴For, while there is not a word on my tongue, lo, thou, O Lord, knowest it entirely.

⁵Behind and before hast thou hedged me in, and thou placest upon me thy hand.

⁶Too wonderful is such knowledge for me: it is too exalted, I cannot attain unto it.

⁷Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee away from thy presence?

⁸If I should ascend into heaven, thou art there; and if I should make my bed in the nether world, behold, thou art there.

⁹If I should lift up the wings of the morning-dawn, if I should dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:

¹⁰Even there would thy hand lead me, and thy right hand would seize hold of me.

¹¹If I said, Surely darkness shall enshroud me, and into night be turned the light about me:

¹²Yet even darkness can obscure nothing from thee; but the night will shine like the day; both the darkness and the light are alike to thee.

¹³For thou possessest my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

¹⁴I will thank thee therefore, that I am so fearfully and wonderfully made: wonderful are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

¹⁵My being was not concealed from thee, when I was made in secret, when I was so to say embroidered in the lowest parts of the earth.

¹⁶My undeveloped substance did thy eyes see; and in thy book were all of them written down—the days which have been formed, while yet not one of them was here.

¹⁷And how precious are unto me thy thoughts, O God! how mightily great is their sum!
