Commentary on Psalm 139:8 (Summary)

Psaume 139:8 (NEG79)

8 Si je monte aux cieux, tu es là;Si je me couche au séjour des morts, te voilà.

Even if I would climb up to the heavens, or when I would go down to Sheol’s realm – though I cannot do either - even then I can’t escape from God’s presence. Nothing and no one is unreachable for the mighty God. Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD, we read in Proverbs 15:11 (compare with Job 26:6). Again, God’s omnipresence and omnipotence are highlighted here. He can also reach Sheol, the realm of the dead.
