8. If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there.
9. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10. Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
11. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12. Yea, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you.
13. For you have formed my inward parts: you have covered me in my mother's womb.
14. I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.
15. My frame was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16. Your eyes did see my substance, being yet unformed; and in your book they were all written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.
17. How precious also are your thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18. If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with you.
19. Surely you will slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, you bloody men.
20. For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take your name in vain.
21. Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate you? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against you?
