^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.

²³ “Am I a God near at hand,” says the Lord,
“And not a God afar off?
²⁴ Can anyone ^(A)hide himself in secret places,
So I shall not see him?” says the Lord;
^(B)“Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the Lord.
