New International Version
Psalm 139:7-16
New American Standard Bible
7 (A)Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 (B)If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in [a]Sheol, behold, (C)You are there.
9 If I take up the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand will (D)lead me,
And Your right hand will take hold of me.
11 If I say, “Surely the (E)darkness will [b]overwhelm me,
And the light around me will be night,”
12 Even (F)darkness is not dark [c]to You,
And the night is as bright as the day.
(G)Darkness and light are alike to You.
13 For You (H)created my innermost parts;
You (I)wove me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will give thanks to You, because [d]I am awesomely and wonderfully made;
(J)Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
15 My [e](K)frame was not hidden from You
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully formed in the (L)depths of the earth;
16 Your (M)eyes have seen my formless substance;
And in (N)Your book were written
All the (O)days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.

Psalm 139:7-16
New International Version
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee(A) from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens,(B) you are there;
if I make my bed(C) in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,(D)
your right hand(E) will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark(F) to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;(G)
you knit me together(H) in my mother’s womb.(I)
14 I praise you(J) because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,(K)
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made(L) in the secret place,
when I was woven together(M) in the depths of the earth.(N)
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained(O) for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
