5 Back and front, You have besieged me, And You set Your palm upon me."

8 If I should climb to the heavens, You are there, And should I make my berth in the unseen, behold, You are there."
9 Should I wear the wings of dawn, Should I tabernacle in the hindmost sea,
10 Even there Your hand would guide me, And Your right hand, it would hold me."
