Read in context

Psalms 139:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea,

10 even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me”—

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

13 For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
