Psalm 139:7–10

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.

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.

7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit?

Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:

If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning,

And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me,

And thy right hand shall hold me.

7 I can never escape from your Spirit!

I can never get away from your presence!

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

if I go down to the grave, you are there.

9 If I ride the wings of the morning,

if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

10 even there your hand will guide me,

and your strength will support me.

7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?

Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;

If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning,

And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,

And Your right hand shall hold me.

7 Where can I go to get away from your Spirit?

Where can I run from you?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there.

If I lie down in the grave, you are there.

9 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.

7 Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?

Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:

If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning,

And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me,

And thy right hand shall hold me.

7 Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into the heavens thou art there; or if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there; 9 If I take the wings of the dawn and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

7 Where can I go ⸤to get away⸥ from your Spirit? 

Where can I run ⸤to get away⸥ from you? 

8 If I go up to heaven, you are there. 

If I make my bed in hell, you are there. 

9 If I climb upward on the rays of the morning sun 

⸤or⸥ land on the most distant shore of the sea where the sun sets, 

10 even there your hand would guide me 

and your right hand would hold on to me. 

7 Where can I go to escape Your Spirit?

Where can I flee from Your presence?

8 If I go up to heaven, You are there;

if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.

9 If I live at the eastern horizon

or settle at the western limits,

10 even there Your hand will lead me;

Your right hand will hold on to me.

7 Where can I go from your spirit?

Or where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there;

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

9 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.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit,

or where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I ascend to heaven, there you are,

and if I make my bed in Sheol, look! There you are.

9 If I lift up the wings of the dawn,

and I alight on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand would lead me,

and your right hand would hold me fast.

7 How can I get away from your Spirit?

Where can I go to escape from you?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there.

If I lie down in the deepest parts of the earth, you are also there.

9 Suppose I were to rise with the sun in the east

and then cross over to the west where it sinks into the ocean.

10 Your hand would always be there to guide me.

Your right hand would still be holding me close.

7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?

Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there;

If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.

9 If I take the wings of the dawn,

If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,

10 Even there Your hand will lead me,

And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
