New King James Version

Psalms 139:5-15 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. You have hedged me behind and before,And laid Your hand upon me.

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

7. Where can I go from Your Spirit?Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8. If I ascend into heaven, You are there;If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

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

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

11. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”Even the night shall be light about me;

12. Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,But the night shines as the day;The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

13. For You formed my inward parts;You covered me in my mother’s womb.

14. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;Marvelous are Your works,And that my soul knows very well.

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