Psalms 139:6-20

⁶Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.

⁷Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee?

⁸If I ascend the heavens — there Thou art, And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee!

⁹I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,

¹⁰Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me.

¹¹And I say, 'Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night is light to me.

¹²Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as is darkness so is light.

¹³For Thou — Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly.

¹⁴I confess Thee, because that with wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful are Thy works, And my soul is knowing it well.

¹⁵My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth.

¹⁶Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed — And not one among them.

¹⁷And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!

¹⁸I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee.

¹⁹Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!

²⁰Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity are Thine enemies.
