10. even there your hand would guide me,your right hand would grab hold of me.
11. If I were to say, “Certainly the darkness will cover me,and the light will turn to night all around me,”
12. even the darkness is not too dark for you to see,and the night is as bright as day;darkness and light are the same to you.
13. Certainly you made my mind and heart;you wove me together in my mother’s womb.
14. I will give you thanks because your deeds are awesome and amazing.You knew me thoroughly;
15. my bones were not hidden from you,when I was made in secretand sewed together in the depths of the earth.
16. Your eyes saw me when I was inside the womb.All the days ordained for mewere recorded in your scrollbefore one of them came into existence.
17. How difficult it is for me to fathom your thoughts about me, O God!How vast is their sum total!
18. If I tried to count them,they would outnumber the grains of sand.Even if I finished counting them,I would still have to contend with you.
19. If only you would kill the wicked, O God!Get away from me, you violent men!
20. They rebel against you and act deceitfully;your enemies lie.
21. O Lord, do I not hate those who hate you,and despise those who oppose you?
22. I absolutely hate them,they have become my enemies!
23. Examine me, and probe my thoughts!Test me, and know my concerns!
24. See if there is any idolatrous tendency in me,and lead me in the reliable ancient path!
