Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,(A)

Where can I go from your Spirit?
    Where can I flee(C) from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens,(D) you are there;
    if I make my bed(E) in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
    if I settle on the far side of the sea,
