Psalms 139:5-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

5. You put Yourself behind and before me,and keep Your hand on me.

6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;it is lofty, and I cannot fathom it.

7. Where shall I go from Your spirit,or where shall I flee from Your presence?

8. If I ascend to heaven, You are there;if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.

9. If I take the wings of the morningand dwell at the end of the sea,

10. even there Your hand shall guide me,and Your right hand shall take hold of me.

11. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall coverme,and the light shall be as night aboutme,”

12. even the darkness is not dark to You,but the night shines as the day,for the darkness is like light to You.

13. You brought my inner parts into being;You wove me in my mother’s womb.

14. I will praise you, for You made me with fear and wonder;marvelous are Your works,and You know me completely.

15. My frame was not hidden from Youwhen I was made in secret,and intricately put together in the lowest parts of the earth.
