Psalm 139:7-10

Search Me, O God, and Know My Heart

7 x Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where y shall I flee from your presence?
8 z If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
a If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall b lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
