Psalms 139:8
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
139:8. If I ascend up into heaven thou art there. Jehovah is in the heavenly place, upon his throne. Note the abrupt words: “Thou, there.”
If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. Descending into the lowest imaginable depths among the dead, there we should find the Lord. “Thou!” says the psalmist, as if he felt that God was the one great Existence in all places. A behold is added, since it seems more a wonder to meet with God in hell than in heaven. Of course the presence of God produces very different effects in these places, but it is unquestionably in each; the bliss of one, the terror of the other.
