7Whither shall I go from your Spirit?
Or whither shall I flee from your presence?
8If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
11If I say, "Let only darkness cover me,
and the light about me be night,"
12even the darkness is not dark to you,
the night is bright as the day;
for darkness is as light with you.
13For you made my inward parts,
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14I praise you, for you are fearful and wonderful.
Wonderful are your works!
You know me right well;
15my frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately wrought in the depths of the earth.
16Your eyes beheld my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
17How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
When I awake, I am still with you.
19O that you would slay the wicked, O God,
and that men of blood would depart from me,
20men who maliciously defy you,
who lift themselves up against you for evil!
21Do I not hate them that hate you, O Yahweh?
And do I not loathe them that rise up against you?
22I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
24And see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!
