Psalms 139:7-12

PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 139:7 The next section makes it clear that there is no way the singer can escape such knowledge. There is nowhere in the universe that God will not be present to lead and hold the believer, and nowhere too dark for God to see him. Some have supposed that the impulse to flee comes from a guilty conscience, but this is unlikely: these verses take delight in the fact that God will “lead” him, an entirely positive benefit.
