THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 139:8 in context
Psalms 139:5–11
5
You hem me in behind and before.
You laid your hand on me.
6
This knowledge is beyond me.
It’s lofty.
I can’t attain it.
7
Where could I go from your Spirit?
Or where could I flee from your presence?
9
If I take the wings of the dawn,
and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10
even there your hand will lead me,
and your right hand will hold me.
11
If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me.
The light around me will be night,”
