⁷ Where can I go to get away from your Spirit?
    Where can I run from you?
⁸ If I go up to the skies, you are there.
    If I lie down where the dead are, you are there.
⁹ If I rise with the sun in the east,
    and settle in the west beyond the sea,
¹⁰ even there you would guide me.
    With your right hand you would hold me.

¹¹ I could say, “The darkness will hide me.
    The light around me will turn into night.”
¹² But even the darkness is not dark to you.
    The night is as light as the day.
    Darkness and light are the same to you.

¹³ You made my whole being.
    You formed me in my mother’s body.
