7 (138:7) Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither shall I flee from my presence?
8 (138:8) If I should go up to heaven, thou art there: if I should go down to hell, thou art present.
9 (138:9) If I should spread my wings to fly straight forward, and sojourn at the extremity of the sea, it would be vain,
10 (138:10) for even there thy hand would guide me, and thy right hand would hold me.
11 (138:11) When I said, Surely the darkness will cover me; even the night was light in my luxury.
12 (138:12) For darkness will not be darkness with thee; but night will be light as day: as its darkness, so shall its light be to thee.
13 (138:13) For thou, O Lord, hast possessed my reins; thou hast helped me from my mother's womb.
14 (138:14) I will give thee thanks; for thou art fearfully wondrous; wondrous are thy works; and my soul knows it well.
15 (138:15) My bones, which thou madest in secret were not hidden from thee, nor my substance, in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 (138:16) Thine eyes saw my unwrought substance, and all men shall be written in thy book; they shall be formed by day, though there should for a time be no one among them.
