OLD TESTAMENT · VERSE 9

Psalms 139:9

If I take the wings of the dawn,

and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea,

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Psalms 139:9 in context

Psalms 139:6–12

This knowledge is beyond me.

It’s lofty.

I can’t attain it.

Where could I go from your Spirit?

Or where could I flee from your presence?

If I ascend up into heaven, you are there.

If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!

Selected verse

If I take the wings of the dawn,

and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea,

even there your hand will lead me,

and your right hand will hold me.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me.

The light around me will be night,”

even the darkness doesn’t hide from you,

but the night shines as the day.

The darkness is like light to you.
