Psalms 139:7-13

7Where can I go ⌞to get away⌟ from your Spirit? Where can I run ⌞to get away⌟ from you?

8If I go up to heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in hell, you are there.

9If I climb upward on the rays of the morning sun ⌞or⌟ land on the most distant shore of the sea where the sun sets,

10even there your hand would guide me and your right hand would hold on to me.

11If I say, “Let the darkness hide me and let the light around me turn into night,”

12even the darkness is not too dark for you. Night is as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same ⌞to you⌟.

13You alone created my inner being. You knitted me together inside my mother.
