Mazmur 139:7

139:7 Where can I go to escape your spirit?

Where can I flee to escape your presence? ¹ 

Mazmur 139:2

139:2 You know when I sit down and when I get up;

even from far away you understand my motives.

Titus 2:9

2:9 Slaves ²  are to be subject to their own masters in everything, ³  to do what is wanted and not talk back,

[139:7]  ¹ tn Heb “Where can I go from your spirit, and where from your face can I flee?” God’s “spirit” may refer here (1) to his presence (note the parallel term, “your face,” and see Ps 104:29-30, where God’s “face” is his presence and his “spirit” is the life-giving breath he imparts) or (2) to his personal Spirit (see Ps 51:10).

[2:9]  ² tn See the note on the word “slave” in 1:1.

[2:9]  ³ tn Or “to be subject to their own masters, to do what is wanted in everything.”
