"And I said: Perhaps darkness will overwhelm me, and the night will be my illumination, to my delight. "
— Psalms 138:11, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures.”
If I ascend into heaven, you are there. If I descend into Hell, you are near.
If I assume my feathers in early morning, and dwell in the utmost parts of the sea,
even there, your hand will lead me forth, and your right hand will hold me.
And I said: Perhaps darkness will overwhelm me, and the night will be my illumination, to my delight.
But darkness will not be impenetrable to you, and night will illuminate like the day: for just as its darkness is, so also is its light.
For you have possessed my temperament. You have supported me from the womb of my mother.
I will confess to you, for you have been magnified terribly. Your works are miraculous, as my soul knows exceedingly well.
