Psalms 139:4-13

1. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

2. 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

3. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

4. 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

5. 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

6. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

7. 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

8. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

9. 12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

10. 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
