Psalm 139:7-12

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Where could I go to escape
from your Spirit
    or from your sight?
⁸ If I were to climb up
to the highest heavens,
    you would be there.
If I were to dig down
to the world of the dead
    you would also be there.

⁹ Suppose I had wings
like the dawning day
    and flew across the ocean.
¹⁰ Even then your powerful arm
    would guide and protect me.
¹¹ Or suppose I said, “I'll hide
in the dark until night comes
    to cover me over.”
¹² But you see in the dark
because daylight and dark
    are all the same to you.
