New Testament

Psalms 139:3-12 God's Word Translation (GW)

3. You watch me when I travel and when I rest.You are familiar with all my ways.

4. Even before there is a ⌊single⌋ word on my tongue,you know all about it, Lord.

5. You are all around me—in front of me and in back of me.You lay your hand on me.

6. Such knowledge is beyond my grasp.It is so high I cannot reach it.

7. Where can I go ⌊to get away⌋ from your Spirit?Where can I run ⌊to get away⌋ from you?

8. If I go up to heaven, you are there.If I make my bed in hell, you are there.

9. If I climb upward on the rays of the morning sun⌊or⌋ land on the most distant shore of the sea where the sun sets,

10. even there your hand would guide meand your right hand would hold on to me.

11. If I say, “Let the darkness hide meand let the light around me turn into night,”

12. even the darkness is not too dark for you.Night is as bright as day.Darkness and light are the same ⌊to you⌋.
