5I am shut in by you on every side, and you have put your hand on me.
6Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.
7Where may I go from your spirit? how may I go in flight from you?
8If I go up to heaven, you are there: or if I make my bed in the underworld, you are there.
9If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the farthest parts of the sea;
10Even there will I be guided by your hand, and your right hand will keep me.
11If I say, Only let me be covered by the dark, and the light about me be night;
12Even the dark is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day: for dark and light are the same to you.
13My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.
14I will give you praise, for I am strangely and delicately formed; your works are great wonders, and of this my soul is fully conscious.
15My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth.
16Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.
17How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!
18If I made up their number, it would be more than the grains of sand; when I am awake, I am still with you.
19If only you would put the sinners to death, O God; go far from me, you men of blood.
20For they go against you with evil designs, and your haters make sport of your name.
