PRINTED TEXT, Ps. 139: 1-12,
' 23,24.
GOLDEN TWIT.—If a ratan

and my Father will love him, and
we will come unto him, and make
our abode with him.' John 14: 23.
THE .LESSON IN ITS SETTING
•
• T,iuse.—W'e arenot able to . as -
'certain when this psalm was
written, though its title maims • .
it tobe a -product of the time
e Gof King .•David.
Place.—There is, nothing, in, the
Slam :to indicate °at what.,.. place*
it was first Written..
In this lesson . we;'have the . op- ';
• pertunity` of considering a 'sub-
ject which •has afmost fallen put
of modern thought, i.e. :God's
perfect knowledge of all a man's
deeds, even of his inner life. No-
where are the great attributes of,
God — his omniscience,' his Amnia,
'presence, his omnipotence •set
forth so strikingly as they are in
, this magnificent psalm. •Nowhere
is- there a • more overwhelming
sense of the fqt that man is beset.
and compassed about' by God,
p'.: vaded by his Spirit; and yet
nowhere' is there a more emphat-
' is assertion of the 'personality
• of ratan' as distinct from, not ab-
sorbed in, the. Deity. In this
psalm, .the power, •of conscience,.
the sense of sin and of 'respons-
.
ibility, are felt and acknowledd'ed,'
and prayer is 'offered. to One who is,
not only the , Judge; but the
Friend. '
• His Perfect,. Knowledge '
The first section of the .psalm
is a declaration arid 'confession'
on the' part of the psalmist ` of
•' .God's absolute• omniscience, ack-
. nowledging thate God knows all
things.. including the psalmists'e
own life, and thoughts and deeds.
1. ,0 Jehovah, thou has searched
ine, and known me. 2. Thou know-,
est thy dots nsitting• and . mine up-
rising; Thou '•understandest mit ,
thought afar off. 3. Thou search
;est' but my path and., my lying
down, And art acquainted .'.with
all my ways. 4, For there is not
L. word., in .my tongue, But lo, 0'.
Jehovah, thou 's'nowest it altogetb-
er-, 5, Thou hast beset me behind '
and • •before, • And laid thy ' hand
upon me. • ' • .•
Jehovah knows' every individ-
ual thoroughly; knows, with first-
hand knowledge, as the result
of personal ,'searchand tracing
and . testing: The hand' suggests
the sweet sense of ' companion-
ship; the minstfy •of soothing;
and the ministry of guidance.
6. Such knowledge is too .wonder-
ful, for me;' It, ley,- :high: I cannot
attain unto it. Our mind has no
line with which to measure •the
Infinite. Do we therefore ques-
tion?? Sa°y, rather, that we there-
fore believe :and adore.

ist, "brit at' these points we 'pave
restricted building of any kind to
Within GO feet so that •if a modern,
Ceessine • is .to be provided later, we
wilt not be burdened With ..the ex-
pense .ot tearing down bulldinec."
Mr. Meteiteston .said,'
• •v
,ah
As man's thoughts can • never
be hidden from. God, who knows
all % things, so now the • psalmist
declares that man cannot hide him-
' self from God, no matter in which
direction he might flee, for God
is everywhere, present in. the
world. '
• 7. Whither' shall' I .go from thy
Spirit?' Or whither - shall. I flee
from thy, presence?.8. If I ascend
up into heaven, thou art there:
If I' make my bed in Sheol,• be-
ho,ld,' thou art there. 9. If .I taste
the wings of e the morning, And
dwell in the uttermost parts •of -
the sea; 10. Even there -shall' thy
hand lead me,. And thy right hand
shall hold 'me. 11. If 'I say, Surely
the darkness shall overwhelm me,
And .the .light about me shall be
fright; 12. " Even'. the. darkness
• hideth not • front tl:e.el,• llut the
a, night shineth as the • days The
, darknessnd the light are both
• alike to. thee. ' . • .
Abhorrence of Wickedness
In. the 19th verse the peeln ist
switches! abruptly from contem-
plation of 'the divine to express
a hope that ,righteous vengeance
will overtake the wii•ked. Yet the
psalmist does not think ofhim-
. self as incapaele of si'nr,iug'in his
own life he is suddenly ove,-
Whelrned with a new longing' to'
)ie' utterly clean from any pos-
sible sin in his own inner life.
And • thus he brit)s his marvel-',
loris confession of God's omni-:•`'
science and omnipresence . to a
dose, with a personal .pra'yee that';
' God • would snake his own life
what it' ought to be in .the light
of these truths. 23. Search me,
0 God, and know my heart: Try
' me,• and know my thoughts. 24.
And •see if there (be on 'wicked
wayin nt'e, And lead me in the
way .everlasting. ' The psalmist .
felt that what he wanted was a
wide, who, would take- him by
the haml,, and hold hint ups, whets
he was ready to fall, along the
rugged journey of .life, or on the -
brink of a dangerous precipice.
