7 Where can I go to escape your Spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?p

8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;q

if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.r

9 If I live at the eastern horizon

or settle at the western limits,D

10 even there your hand will lead me;

your right hand will hold on to me.s

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me,

and the light around me will be night”t—

12 even the darkness is not dark to you.

The night shines like the day;

darkness and light are alike to you.u

13 For it was you who created my inward parts;E

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.v

14 I will praise you

because I have been remarkably and wondrously made.F,B

Your works are wondrous,

and I know this very well.w

15 My bones were not hidden from you

when I was made in secret,

when I was formed in the depths of the earth.x

16 Your eyes saw me when I was formless;

all my days were written in your book and planned

before a single one of them began.y
