Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there; i.e. "if I were to ascend up into heaven, if I could do so, thou wouldst still be there - I should not find myself where thou wert not; no, nor even if I went down to hell (Sheol), should I escape thee - thou wouldst be there also." If I make my bed in hell means, "if I go down and take my rest in hell" - the place of departed spirits. Behold, thou art there; literally, behold, thou!

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) If I make my bed in hell.--Literally, If I make Sheol my bed. (For the thought see Amos 9:2, and comp. Proverbs 15:11; Job 26:6.)This conviction that the underworld was not exempt from the vigilance and even from the visitation of Jehovah makes an advance in thought from Psalm 6:5 (where see Note), &c, where death is viewed as cutting off the Hebrew altogether from his relation to the Theocracy.
