Psalms 139:8

Psalms 139:8; Psalms 139:10. 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 parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold, me.

How swift he supposes his flight to be, as swift as the light, for he borrows the wings of the morning, and yet the hand of God was controlling his destiny even then. As Watts rhymes it -

"If mounted on the morning ray,

I fly beyond the western sea,

Thy swifter hand should first arrive,

And there arrest thy fugitive."
