But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
When I awake, I am still with You.
| << Psalms 139:10 | Psalms 139:12 >> |
