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.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

139:8 thou art there. Thus God is omnipresent. Since he is always present everywhere, He cannot actually be seen anywhere, except in some special theophany or incarnation. See notes on John 1:18.


139:9 wings of the morning. This phrase speaks of the east; “uttermost parts of the [Mediterranean] sea” speaks of the west. Whether highest heaven or deepest hell (Psalm 139:8), east or west, day or night (Psalm 139:10-11), God is omnipresent.
