⁷ Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
⁸ If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in ^[a]hell, 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 Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
¹¹ If I say, “Surely the darkness shall ^[b]fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
¹² Indeed, the darkness ^[c]shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
