Psalms 139:6-16
6Such 1knowledgeH1847 is 2tooH4480 wonderfulH6383 for me; It is too highH7682, I cannotH3201H3808 attain to it.
73WhereH575 can I goH1980 from Your SpiritH7307? Or whereH575 can I fleeH1272 from Your presenceH6440?84IfH518 I ascendH5559 to heavenH8064, You are thereH8033; If I makeH3331 my bedH3331 in 5SheolH7585, beholdH2009, 6You are there.9If I takeH5375 the wingsH3671 of the dawnH7837, If I dwellH7931 in the remotestH319 partH319 of the seaH3220,10EvenH1571 thereH8033 Your handH3027 will 7leadH5148 me, And Your rightH3225 handH3225 will layH270 holdH270 of me.11If I sayH559, “SurelyH389 the 8darknessH2822 will 9overwhelmH7779 me, And the lightH216 aroundH1157 me will be nightH3915,”12EvenH1571 the 10darknessH2822 is not darkH2821 11to You, And the nightH3915 is as brightH215 as the dayH3117. 12DarknessH2825 and lightH219 are alike to You.
13For You 13formedH7069 my 14inwardH3629 partsH3629; You 15woveH5526 me in my mother’sH517 wombH990.14I will giveH3034 thanksH3034 to You, for 16I am fearfullyH3372 and wonderfullyH6395 made; 17WonderfulH6381 are Your worksH4639, And my soulH5315 knowsH3045 it veryH3966 wellH3966.15My 1819frameH6108 was not hiddenH3582 from You, WhenH834 I was madeH6213 in secretH5643, And skillfullyH7551 wroughtH7551 in the 20depthsH8482 of the earthH776;16Your 21eyesH5869 have seenH7200 my unformedH1564 substanceH1564; And in 22Your bookH5612 were allH3605 writtenH3789 The 23daysH3117 that were ordainedH3335 for me, When as yet there was not oneH259 of them.
