Psalms 139:8-12

8 1If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in 2Sheol, behold, 3You are there.9If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,10Even there Your hand will 4lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me.11If I say, “Surely the 5darkness will 6overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,”12Even the 7darkness is not dark 8to You, And the night is as bright as the day. 9Darkness and light are alike to You.
