{Psalms 139:9} [If] I take 5375 z8799 the wings 3671 of the morning, 7837 [and] dwell 7931 z8799 in the uttermost parts 319 of the sea; 3220

If I take:
Light has been proved, by many experiments, to travel at the astonishing rate of 194,188 miles in one second of time; and comes from the sun to the earth, a distance of 95,513,794 miles in 8 minutes and nearly 12 seconds! But, could I even fly upon the wings or rays of the morning light, which diffuses itself with such velocity over the globe from east to west, instead of being beyond Thy reach, or by this sudden transition be able to escape Thy notice, Thy arm could still at pleasure prevent or arrest my progress, and I should still be encircled with the immensity of Thy essence. The sentiment in this noble passage is remarkably striking and the description truly sublime.

the wings:
"And he rodeª ° upon¹ a cherub,ª and did fly:ª ° yea, he did flyª ° upon¹ the wingsª of the wind.ª" {Psa 18:10} + "His going forthª [is] from the endª ¹ of the heaven,ª and his circuitª unto¹ the endsª of it: and there is nothing¹ hidª ° from the heatª ¹ thereof." {Psa 19:6} + "But unto you that fearª my nameª shall the Sunª of righteousnessª ariseª ° with healingª in his wings;ª and ye shall go forth,ª ° and grow upª ° as calvesª of the stall.ª" {Mal 4:2}

dwell:
"The dayª [is] thine, the nightª also¹ [is] thine: thou¹ hast preparedª ° the lightª and the sun.ª ... Thou¹ hast setª ° all¹ the bordersª of the earth:ª thou¹ hast madeª ° summerª and winter.ª" {Psa 74:16-17} + "They¹ shall lift upª ° their voice,ª they shall singª ° for the majestyª of the LORD,ª they shall cry aloudª ° from the sea.ª ¹ ... From the uttermost partª ¹ of the earthª have we heardª ° songs,ª [even] gloryª to the righteous.ª But I said,ª ° My leanness,ª my leanness,ª woeª unto me! the treacherous dealersª ° have dealt treacherously;ª ° yea, the treacherous dealersª ° have dealt very² treacherously.ª °¹" {Isa 24:14-16}
