⁷Where can I go from your spirit?
   Or where can I flee from your presence?
⁸If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
   if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.
⁹If I take the wings of the morning
   and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
¹⁰even there your hand shall lead me,
   and your right hand shall hold me fast.
¹¹If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me,
   and the light around me become night’,
¹²even the darkness is not dark to you;
   the night is as bright as the day,
   for darkness is as light to you.
