⁷ Where can I go from your Spirit?
    Where can I flee^(A) from your presence?
⁸ If I go up to the heavens,^(B) you are there;
    if I make my bed^(C) 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,^(D)
    your right hand^(E) will hold me fast.
¹¹ If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
    and the light become night around me,”
¹² even the darkness will not be dark^(F) to you;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.

² Though they dig down to the depths below,^(A)
    from there my hand will take them.
Though they climb up to the heavens above,^(B)
    from there I will bring them down.^(C)
3 Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,^(D)
    there I will hunt them down and seize them.^(E)
Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea,^(F)
    there I will command the serpent^(G) to bite them.^(H)
4 Though they are driven into exile by their enemies,
    there I will command the sword^(I) to slay them.

“I will keep my eye on them
    for harm^(J) and not for good.^(K)”^(L)
