Psalms 139:7-13

7I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!

8If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.

9If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

10even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.

11I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night—

12but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you.

13You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
