139:7 Where can I go to escape your spirit?
Where can I flee to escape your presence? 1
139:8 If I were to ascend 2 to heaven, you would be there.
If I were to sprawl out in Sheol, there you would be. 3
139:9 If I were to fly away 4 on the wings of the dawn, 5
and settle down on the other side 6 of the sea,
139:10 even there your hand would guide me,
your right hand would grab hold of me.
139:11 If I were to say, “Certainly the darkness will cover me, 7
and the light will turn to night all around me,” 8
139:12 even the darkness is not too dark for you to see, 9
and the night is as bright as 10 day;
darkness and light are the same to you. 11
