Psalms 139:8-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 139
8If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. 9 If 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. 11 If 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.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 139
8If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. 9If I live at the eastern horizon or settle at the western limits, 10even there your hand will lead me; your right hand will hold on to me. 11If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light around me will be night" —
12even the darkness is not dark to you. The night shines like the day; darkness and light are alike to you.
13For it was you who created my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14I will praise you because I have been remarkably and wondrously made. Your works are wondrous, and I know this very well.
New Living Translation
Chapter 139
8If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. 9If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, 10even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. 11I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night — 12but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you.English Standard Version
Chapter 139
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! 9If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. 11If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night," 12 even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. 13For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother 's womb. 14I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.New International Version
Chapter 139
8If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 11If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"New King James Version
