Where can I go from your Spirit?
    Where can I flee(A) from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens,(B) you are there;
    if I make my bed(C) in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
    if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,(D)
    your right hand(E) will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
    and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark(F) to you;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.

Where can I go to get away from your Spirit?
    Where can I run from you?
If I go up to the skies, you are there.
    If I lie down where the dead are, you are there.
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.
