Psalms 139:5-10

5You have 1enclosed me behind and before, And 2laid Your hand upon me.6Such 3knowledge is 4too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it.

7 5Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?8 6If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in 7Sheol, behold, 8You are there.9If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,10Even there Your hand will 9lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
