Context of Psalms 139:10

8If I go up to heaven, you would be there. If I dig deep down into the ground to reach Sheol, you would be there too. 9If I fly away to where the sun rises in the east, or to the other side of the sea in the west, you would be there. You would use your hand to lead me. Your strong right hand would keep me safe. 11I might say, ‘I will hide myself in the dark, and the light round me will change into night.’ 12But it is never too dark for you to see. For you, the night has as much light as the day. Darkness and light are the same to you!

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Even there shall thy hand lead me - I shall find thee there; thy hand would be upon me; I should not have gone from thy presence. And thy right hand shall hold me - Still hold me; still be laid upon me. I should find myself there, as certainly as here, in thy hand; and in the same sense - either to seize upon me if I went astray, or to protect me, if obedient, supported by thee in all the perils of the flight. God, still the same - the same in all…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-16Verses 7-16 We cannot see God, but he can see us. The psalmist did not desire to go from the Lord. Whither can I go? In the most distant corners of the world, in heaven, or in hell, I cannot go out of thy reach. No veil can hide us from God; not the thickest darkness. No disguise can save any person or action from being seen in the true light by him. Secret haunts of sin are as open before God as the most open villanies. On the other hand, the believer…Read the comment
