Psalms 139:9-10

Context

139:9 If I were to fly away 1  on the wings of the dawn, 2 

and settle down on the other side 3  of the sea,

139:10 even there your hand would guide me,

your right hand would grab hold of me.

1 tn Heb “rise up.”

2 sn On the wings of the dawn. This personification of the “dawn” may find its roots in mythological traditions about the god Shachar, whose birth is described in an Ugaritic myth (see G. R. Driver, Canaanite Myths and Legends, 126) and who is mentioned in Isa 14:12 as the father of Helel.

3 tn Heb “at the end.”
