9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
9 If I take H5375 the wings H3671 of the morning, H7837 and dwell H7931 in the uttermost parts H319 of the sea; H3220
9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
9 I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,
9 [If] I take the wings of the dawn [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
9 If I take the wings of the dawn, And settle in the uttermost parts of the sea;
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the farthest parts of the sea;

They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea. Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea. From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
