Psalm 139:7-16 American Standard Version (ASV)

7. Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

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

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

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

11. If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night;

12. Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13. For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother’s womb.

14. I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.

15. My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16. Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them.
