Psalms139:9
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea .

And wings are Poetically ascribed to the morning or morning light here, as they are elsewhere to the Sun, as Mal. 4. 2. and to the winds, as Psal. 18. 11. & 104. 3. and to other things of eminent swiftness.
