Psalms 139:17 in Context — Psalms 139

15 Mon corps n’était point caché devant toi, Lorsque j’ai été fait dans un lieu secret, Tissé dans les profondeurs de la terre.

16 Quand je n’étais qu’une masse informe, tes yeux me voyaient; Et sur ton livre étaient tous inscrits Les jours qui m’étaient destinés, Avant qu’aucun d’eux existât.

17 Que tes pensées, ô Dieu, me semblent impénétrables! Que le nombre en est grand!

18 Si je les compte, elles sont plus nombreuses que les grains de sable. Je m’éveille, et je suis encore avec toi.

19 O Dieu, puisses-tu faire mourir le méchant! Hommes de sang, éloignez-vous de moi!
