Psalm 138:8 Douay-Rheims

If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present.

Cosmas Indicopleustes

c. A.D. 550 Patristic

For Deity alone is uncircumscribed, existing everywhere, and as the same and in the same manner. For if I ascend, saith David, into heaven, thou art there; if I descend into Hades thou art present there; if I should take to myself wings at morning—that is, in the east—and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea—that is, in the west—even there shall thy hand lead me: evidently indicating here the uncircumscribed nature of the Deity
