Psalms 139:6-16

6SuchknowledgeH1847 is too wonderful for me;It is highH7682, I cannot attain unto it.7Whither shall I go from thy SpiritH7307?Or whither shall I fleeH1272 from thy presenceH6440?8If I ascend up into heavenH8064, thou art there:If I make my bedH3331 in SheolH7585, behold, thou art there.9If I takeH5375 the wingsH3671 of the morning,And dwellH7931 in the uttermost parts of the seaH3220;10Even there shall thy handH3027 leadH5148 me,And thy rightH3225 handH3027 shall holdH270 me.11If I sayH559, SurelyH389 the darknessH2822 shall overwhelm me,And the lightH216 about me shall be nightH3915;12Even the darknessH2822 hideth not from thee,But the nightH3915 shineth as the dayH3117:The darknessH2822 and the lightH215 are both aliketo thee.13For thou didst form my inward parts:Thou didst cover me in my mother’sH517 wombH990.14I will giveH3034 thanksH3034 unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully madeH3045:WonderfulH6381 are thy worksH4639;And that my soulH5315 knoweth right well.15My frame was not hiddenH3582 from thee,WhenH834 I was madeH6213 in secret,And curiously wrought in the lowest partsH8482 of the earthH776.16Thine eyesH5869 did seeH7200 mine unformed substance;And in thy bookH5612 they were all writtenH3789,Eventhe daysH3117 that were ordainedfor me,When as yet there was none of them.
