Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol,
You are there.
If I take the wings of the morning
and settle at the farthest limits
of the sea, even there
Your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand
shall hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness
shall cover me, and the light
around me become night.”
even the darkness is not dark
to You, the night is bright
as the day, for darkness
is as light to you.
(Psalm 139)
