Psalms 139:3-17

³Thou seest my path and my lying-down, And art acquainted with all my ways!

⁴For before the word is upon my tongue, Behold, O LORD! thou knowest it altogether!

⁵Thou besettest me behind and before, And layest thine hand upon me!

⁶Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain to it!

⁷Whither shall I go from thy spirit, And whither shall I flee from thy presence?

⁸If I ascend into heaven, thou art there! If I make my bed in the underworld, behold, thou art there!

⁹If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the remotest parts of the sea,

¹⁰Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me!

¹¹If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me;” Even the night shall be light about me.

¹²Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to thee!

¹³For thou didst form my reins; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb.

¹⁴I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvellous are thy works, And this my soul knoweth full well!

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

¹⁶Thine eyes did see my substance, while yet unformed, And in thy book was every thing written; My days were appointed before one of them existed.

¹⁷How precious to me are thy thoughts, O God! How great is the sum of them!
