Where can I go from your spirit?
    Or where can I flee from your presence?(A)
If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
    if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.(B)
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)

    and night wraps itself around me,”[a](D)

    the night is as bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.(E)
