⁷ Where can I go to escape your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?^(A)
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;^(B)
if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.^(C)
9 If I fly on the wings of the dawn
and settle down on the western horizon,^[a]
10 even there your hand will lead me;
your right hand will hold on to me.^(D)
11 If I say, ‘Surely the darkness will hide me,
and the light around me will be night’^(E) –
¹² even the darkness is not dark to you.
The night shines like the day;
darkness and light are alike to you.^(F)
