Where can I go to escape Your Spirit?
Where can I flee from Your presence?(A)
If I go up to heaven, You are there;(B)
if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.(C)
If I live at the eastern horizon
or settle at the western limits,[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)

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 139:9 Lit I take up the wings of the dawn; I dwell at the end of the sea

If they dig down to Sheol,(A)
from there My hand will take them;
if they climb up to heaven,(B)
from there I will bring them down.
If they hide themselves
on the top of Carmel,
from there I will track them down(C)
and seize them;
if they conceal themselves
from My sight on the sea floor,(D)
from there I will command
the sea serpent to bite them.(E)
And if they are driven
by their enemies into captivity,(F)
from there I will command
the sword to kill them.(G)
I will fix My eyes on them
for harm and not for good.(H)
