Psalms 139:8-10

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 139:8-10. If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost part of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

Well did Dr. Watts write,-

If mounted on a morning ray,?

I fly beyond the western sea,

Thy swifter hand would first arrive,

And there arrest thy fugitive.

There is no hope of escaping from God by any speed to which we may attain, for if we could fly with the rapidity of light, yet would Jehovah be beforehand with us; his hand would lead us, and his right hand would hold us.
