^7 (A)Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
^8 (B)If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
^(C)If I make my bed in ^[a]hell, behold, You are there.
⁹ If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
¹⁰ Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
¹¹ If I say, “Surely the darkness shall ^[b]fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
¹² Indeed, ^(D)the darkness ^[c]shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

² “Though^(A) they dig into ^[a]hell,
From there My hand shall take them;
^(B)Though they climb up to heaven,
From there I will bring them down;
³ And though they ^(C)hide themselves on top of Carmel,
From there I will search and take them;
Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea,
From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them;
⁴ Though they go into captivity before their enemies,
From there ^(D)I will command the sword,
And it shall slay them.
^(E)I will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good.”
