If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”

If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!

If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,”

If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.

I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night

If I go up to heaven, you are there;  if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light around me will be night”   

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; Even the night shall be light about me.

If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me

Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight? If I climb to the sky, you’re there! If I go underground, you’re there! If I flew on morning’s wings to the far western horizon, You’d find me in a minute— you’re already there waiting! Then I said to myself, “Oh, he even sees me in the dark! At night I’m immersed in the light!” It’s a fact: darkness isn’t dark to you; night and day, darkness and light, they’re all the same to you.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,”

If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead), behold, You are there. [Rom 11:33]

If I say, “Surely the darkness will cover me, And the night will be the only light around me,”

If I were to ascend to heaven, you would be there. If I were to sprawl out in Sheol, there you would be.

If I were to say, “Certainly the darkness will cover me, and the light will turn to night all around me,”
