Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 9, 10. - If I take the wings of the morning. If I were to speed across the earth on the wings of the dawn, and, having done so, were then to dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea - the extreme west, where the sun sets - even there shall thy hand lead me. In that distant region I should still find thy guiding hand. And thy right hand shall hold me. Thy strong right hand would uphold me.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) If . . .--Literally,I lift wings of dawnI dwell in the end of the sea.The wings of the morning.--This exquisite image suggesting not only the pinions of cloud that seem often to lift the dawn into the sky, but also the swift sailing of the light across the world, may be compared to the "wings of the sun" in Malachi 4:2, and the "wings of the wind" in Psalm 18:10.The uttermost parts of the sea--i.e., to a Hebrew the extreme west. The poet imagines himself darting from east to farthest west, with the rapidity of light.
