81IfH518 I ascendH5559 to heavenH8064, You are thereH8033; If I makeH3331 my bedH3331 in 2SheolH7585, beholdH2009, 3You are there.9If I takeH5375 upH5375 the wingsH3671 of the dawnH7837, If I dwellH7931 in the remotestH319 partH319 of the seaH3220,10EvenH1571 thereH8033 Your handH3027 will 4leadH5148 me, And Your rightH3225 handH3225 will takeH270 holdH270 of me.11If I sayH559, “SurelyH389 the 5darknessH2822 will 6overwhelmH7779 me, And the lightH216 aroundH1157 me will be nightH3915,”12EvenH1571 7darknessH2822 isH2821 not darkH2821 8to You, And the nightH3915 isH215 as brightH215 as the dayH3117. 9DarknessH2825 and lightH219 are alike to You.
