Psalm 139 v 7 – 12
Revised English Bible
Where can I escape from your spirit, where flee from your presence? If I climb up to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. If I travel to the limits of the east, or dwell at the bounds of the western sea, even there your hand will be guiding me, your right hand holding me fast. If I say, ‘Surely darkness will steal over me, and the day around me turn to night,’ darkness is not too dark for you and night is as light as day; to you both dark and light are one.
