Psalm 139:7–10
Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there! If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.
Context note · editorial
The psalmist imagines distant places and speaks of God’s presence there. Sheol is a biblical term for the place of the dead.
