5 Behind, before, thou hast beset,and laid on me thine hand.
6 Such knowledge is too strange for me,too high to understand.
7 From thy Sp'rit whither shall I go?or from thy presence fly?
8 Ascend I heav'n, lo, thou art there;there, if in hell I lie.
9 Take I the morning wings, and dwellin utmost parts of sea;
10 Ev'n there, Lord, shall thy hand me lead,thy right hand hold shall me.
11 If I do say that darkness shallme cover from thy sight,Then surely shall the very nightabout me be as light.
