Psalm 139:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn[a]
and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
and your right hand will hold me fast.
11 [b]If I say, “Surely the darkness will conceal me
and the day around me will turn to night,”
Footnotes
- Psalm 139:9 Rise on the wings of the dawn: go to the most distant extremities of the east. Settle at the farthest limits of the sea: the uttermost bounds of the west.
- Psalm 139:11 There is only light with God, and his light brightens up the darkness. For to you darkness and light are the same: some consider this line to be a gloss.
