Psalms139:9

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

If I should flee as swiftly from thy presence as the morning light doth, which in an instant scat[illegible: 1+ letters]ereth it self from East to West: for the Sea being the Western border of [illegible: 1+ letters]anaan, is oft put for the West in Scripture. 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.
