5 You are all around me—in front of me and behind me. I feel your hand on my shoulder.
6 I am amazed at what you know; it is too much for me to understand.
7 Your Spirit is everywhere I go. I cannot escape your presence.
8 If I go up to heaven, you will be there. If I go down to the place of death, you will be there.
9 If I go east where the sun rises or go to live in the west beyond the sea,
10 even there you will take my hand and lead me. Your strong right hand will protect me.
11 Suppose I wanted to hide from you and said, “Surely the darkness will hide me. The day will change to night and cover me.”
