7nWhither shall I go from thy spirit?

Or whither oshall I flee from thy presence?

8pIf I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:

qIf I rmake my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9If I take sthe wings of the morning,

And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10Even there shall thy hand tlead me,

And thy right hand shall hold me.

11If I say, uSurely the darkness shall cover me;

Even the night shall be light about me.

12Yea, uthe darkness †hideth not from thee;

But the night shineth as the day:

†The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13For thou hast vpossessed my reins:

Thou hast wcovered me in my mother’s womb.

14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

xMarvellous are thy works;

And that my soul knoweth †right well.

15yMy ||substance was not hid from thee,

When I was made in secret,

And zcuriously wrought in athe lowest parts of the earth.

16yThine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;

And in thy book †all my members were written,

||Which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Read in Logos
Psalm 139:13: For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
