Psalms 139:8-12

8If I ascend upH5266 into heavenH8064, thou art there: if I make my bedH3331 in hellH7585, behold, thou art there.

9If I takeH5375 the wingsH3671 of the morningH7837, and dwellH7931 in the uttermost partsH319 of the seaH3220;

10Even there shall thy handH3027 leadH5148 me, and thy right handH3225 shall holdH270 me.

11If I sayH559, Surely the darknessH2822 shall coverH7779 me; even the nightH3915 shall be lightH216 about meH1157.

12Yea, the darknessH2822 hidethH2821 not from thee; but the nightH3915 shinethH215 as the dayH3117: the darknessH2825 and the lightH219 are both alike to thee.1 2
