¹⁴ Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not; And he walketh on the vault of heaven.

¹¹ If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night;

¹² Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike `to thee'.

⁹ He incloseth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his cloud upon it.

²² There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

¹⁴ From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,

² Clouds and darkness are round about him: Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

¹ O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known `me'.

² Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; Thou understandest my thought afar off.

²⁴ Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? saith Jehovah. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith Jehovah.

² But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

³ Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
