Psalm 139:7–16

⁷Where can I go ⸤to get away⸥ from your Spirit? 

Where can I run ⸤to get away⸥ from you? 

⁸If I go up to heaven, you are there. 

If I make my bed in hell, you are there. 

⁹If I climb upward on the rays of the morning sun 

⸤or⸥ land on the most distant shore of the sea where the sun sets, 

¹⁰even there your hand would guide me 

and your right hand would hold on to me. 

¹¹If I say, “Let the darkness hide me 

and let the light around me turn into night,” 

¹²even the darkness is not too dark for you. 

Night is as bright as day. 

Darkness and light are the same ⸤to you⸥. 

¹³You alone created my inner being. 

You knitted me together inside my mother. 

¹⁴I will give thanks to you 

because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made. 

Your works are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of this. 

¹⁵My bones were not hidden from you 

when I was being made in secret, 

when I was being skillfully woven in an underground workshop. 

¹⁶Your eyes saw me when I was still an unborn child. 

Every day ⸤of my life⸥ was recorded in your book 

before one of them had taken place.
