| 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? | 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? |
| 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. | 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. |
| 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, | 9 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, your right hand will hold me fast. | 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. |
| 11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," | 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 to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. | 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. |
