Psalm 139

This is an excerpt from Spurgeon's Treasury of David, a classic commentary on the Psalms. It sings the omniscience and omnipresence of God, inferring from these the overthrow of the powers of wickedness, since He who sees and hears the abominable deeds and words of the rebellious will surely deal with them according to His justiceIt flames out with such flashes of light as to turn night into dayThis holy song casts a clear light even to the uttermost parts of the sea, and warns it against the practical atheism which ignores the presence of God, and so makes shipwreck of the soul.. Psalm 139 is one of the most notable of the sacred hymns
