Where can I go from your spirit?
    Or where can I flee from your presence?(A)
If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
    if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.(B)
If I take the wings of the morning
    and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
    and your right hand shall hold me fast.(C)
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
    and night wraps itself around me,”[a](D)
12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
    the night is as bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.(E)

  1. 139.11 Q ms: MT and the light around me become night

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.
