Psalms 139:12

No, darkness shall not be dark (darkened) to you,
but the night shall shine like the day—darkness and light make no difference [to you].
[The verse ends literally: "as darkness as light." The two vertical extremes (the heavens and the underworld, see verse 8) and the two horizontal extremes (east and west, see verse 9) poetically describe that there is no place where God's Spirit cannot reach and His presence transform the situation!]
