Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

7Where can I go from Your Spirit?

Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8If I ascend to heaven, You are there;

If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.

9If I take up the wings of the dawn,

If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,

10Even there Your hand will lead me,

And Your right hand will take hold of me.

11If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,

And the light around me will be night,”

12Even darkness is not dark to You,

And the night is as bright as the day.

Darkness and light are alike to You.

13For You created my innermost parts;

You wove me in my mother’s womb.

14I will give thanks to You, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made;

Wonderful are Your works,

And my soul knows it very well.

15My frame was not hidden from You

When I was made in secret,

And skillfully formed in the depths of the earth;

16Your eyes have seen my formless substance;

And in Your book were written

All the days that were ordained for me,

When as yet there was not one of them.
