'Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; 24. And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. PSALM cxxxix. 23, 24. This psalm begins with perhaps the grandest contemplation of the divine Omniscience that was ever put into words.
In a discussion of the significance of the design on the food bowl represented in plate CXXXIX, a, b, I have shown ample reason for regarding it a figure of a highly conventionalized bird. The wings are represented by triangular extensions, destitute of appendages but with a rounded body at their point of juncture with the trunk.
We find eternity ascribed to the Holy Spirit in Heb. ix. 14, “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” Omnipresence is ascribed to the Holy Spirit in Ps. cxxxix. 7-10, “Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?
For my soul is full of trouble and my life draweth nigh unto Hell. Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in a place of darkness, and in the deep. Ps. lxxxviii. 1, 2. If I go down to Hell, Thou art there also. Yea, the darkness is no darkness with Thee; but the night is as clear as the day. Ps. cxxxix. 7, 11. I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined unto me, and heard my calling.
It is true as David says, that "The darkness and the light are both alike to thee." Ps. cxxxix: 12. He saw they needed help and he resolved to give it to them. But there was no boat at hand for him to go in. True: but he needed none. He could walk on the water as well as on the land. He steps from the sandy shore to the surface of the storm-tossed sea. He walks safely over its troubled waters.
Th: Jefferson. LETTER CXXXIX. TO COLONEL HUMPHREYS, December 4,1785 Paris, December 4,1785. Dear Sir, I enclose you a letter from Gatteaux, observing that there will be an anachronism, if, in making a medal to commemorate the victory of Saratoga, he puts on General Gates the insignia of the Cincinnati, which did not exist at that date.
The reduction of the triangular wings of the last figure to a simple band drawn diametrically across the inner surface of the bowl is accomplished in the design shown in plate CXXXIX, b. At intervals along this line there are arranged groups of blocks, three in each group, representing stars, as will later be shown.
ACTS xvii. 28. "I will praise Thee: for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." PSALM cxxxix. 14. "Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body." 1 COR. vi. 20.
She brought the concordance and found there was no reference to omnipresence. "We'll look for present or presence," suggested Grace. She glanced rapidly down the columns and found a reference to Ps. cxxxix. and turned to that. "Yes, in the seventh verse it says: 'Whither shall I go from thy spirit or whither shall I flee from thy presence? and here is a marginal reference to Jer. xxiii: 24.
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me," Psalm cxxxix. 23, 24. It is quite unnecessary to study the methods of men if we cannot bear the test of God's searching eye. We must be right in our own homes.
