Psalms 139:7-13
71Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?82If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in 3Sheol, behold, 4You 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 5lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me.11If I say, “Surely the 6darkness will 7overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,”12Even the 8darkness is not dark 9to You, And the night is as bright as the day. 10Darkness and light are alike to You.
13For You 11formed my 12inward parts; You 13wove me in my mother’s womb.
