Psalms139:9
Verſ. 9 If I take the wings of the morning] The morning light is diffuſed in an inſtant all the whole w[illegible: 1 letter]lkin over. If I could flye never ſo ſwiftly from one end of the Heaven to the other, ſaith David, I ſhould bee never the near. This is a poeticall expreſſion.
And dwell in the uttermoſt parts of the Sea] Or of the Weſt, whither the Sun ſetting is ſaid to haſten, and hide himſelf. The Syriack and Arabick have it, If I take the wings of the Eagle and dwell, &c. And of the Eagle they write, that when ſhee would change her feathers, ſhee falleth down into the Sea.
