Psalm 139:7-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Where can I go from your spirit?
Or where can I flee from your presence?(A)
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.(B)
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me fast.(C)
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and night wraps itself around me,”[a](D)
12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is as bright as the day,
for darkness is as light to you.(E)

Jeremiah Denounces His Persecutors
7 O Lord, you have enticed me,
and I was enticed;
you have overpowered me,
and you have prevailed.
I have become a laughingstock all day long;
everyone mocks me.(A)
8 For whenever I speak, I must cry out;
I must shout, “Violence and destruction!”
For the word of the Lord has become for me
a reproach and derision all day long.(B)
9 If I say, “I will not mention him
or speak any more in his name,”
then within me there is something like a burning fire
shut up in my bones;
I am weary with holding it in,
and I cannot.(C)
