Psalms 139:11 in Context — Psalms 139

9 Si tomare las alas del alba, y habitare en el extremo de la mar,

10 Aun allí me guiará tu mano, y me asirá tu diestra.

11 Si dijere: Ciertamente las tinieblas me encubrirán; aun la noche resplandecerá tocante á mí.

12 Aun las tinieblas no encubren de ti, y la noche resplandece como el día: lo mismo [te son] las tinieblas que la luz.

13 Porque tú poseiste mis riñones; cubrísteme en el vientre de mi madre.
