Psalm 139:8

If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.

Psalm 139:8 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 139.

4 Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD.

5 You hem me in behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?

8 If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea,

10 even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me”—

12 even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.
