7 Whither shall I go from thy face? Or [whither] from thy spirit flee?
8 If into heaven I could ascend, Yet [surely] thou art present there; Or if in hell I make my bed, Or [in the] grave, there thou art near.
8 If into heav'n I could ascend, Yet [surely] thou art present there; Or if in hell I make my bed, Or [in the] grave, there thou art near.
9 If on the morning's wings I fled, [And dwell] the utmost Seas beyond;
9 If on the morning's wings I fled, [And d'well] the utmost Seas beyond;
10 There by thy hand I shall be led, And [safely] held by thy right hand.
