"Of that divine glory mentioned in the Scripture, there is one degree which the eyes of the prophets were able to explore; another which all the Israelites saw, as the cloud and consuming fire; the third is so bright, and so dazzling, that no mortal is able to comprehend it; but should anyone venture to look on it, his whole frame would be dissolved." In such inconceivable splendour is the Divine Majesty revealed to the inhabitants of the celestial world, where he is said to "dwell in the light which no man can approach unto." (1 Ti 6:16.) By the "face of God," therefore, we are to understand that light inaccessible before which angels may stand, but which would be so insufferable to mortal eyes, that no man could see it and live. 24:10; Ge 32:30; De 5:24; Jud 6:22; 13:22; Isa 6:5; Joh 1:181Ti 6:16; Heb 1:13; Re 1:16,17 place by.De 5:31; Jos 20:4; Isa 56:5; Zec 3:7; Lu 15:1 in a clift.Ps 18:2; So 2:3; Isa 2:21; 32:2; 1Co 10:4; 2Co 5:19cover thee.De 33:12; Ps 91:1,4The rock on which Moses stood, and in the clift of which he was sheltered, was doubtless an emblem of Christ; in whose person, character, and salvation alone, sinners may by faith see the glory of God, and live; for there it appears in softened splendour; as the sun, when his brightness is diminished by a mist, is beheld more distinctly by the human eye.--Scott thou shalt.20; Job 11:7; 26:14; Joh 1:18; 1Co 13:12; 1Ti 6:16Exodus 34:5-7

1 David praises God for his all-seeing providence;17 and for his infinite mercies.19 He defies the wicked.23 He prays for sincerity. A.M. 2956. B.C. 1048. (Title.) A Psalm.This Psalm is supposed to have been composed by David when made king of Israel; though some think it was written by him when accused of traitorous designs against Saul. It is a most sublime ode on the wisdom, knowledge, presence, and justice of God: the sentiments are grand, the style highly elevated, and the images various, beautiful, and impressive. thou hast.23; 11:4,5; 17:3; 44:21; 1Ki 8:39; 1Ch 28:9; Jer 12:3; 17:9,10Joh 21:17; Heb 4:13; Re 2:18,23 knowest.56:8; Ge 16:13; 2Ki 6:12; 19:27; Pr 15:3; Isa 37:28; Zec 4:10understandest.94:11; Mt 9:4; Lu 9:47; Joh 2:24,25; 1Co 4:5afar off.Eze 38:10,11,17 compassest. or, winnowest.Job 13:26,27; 14:16,17; 31:4; Mt 3:12my path.18; 121:3-8; Ge 28:10-17; 2Sa 8:14; 11:2-5,27and art acquainted.2Sa 12:9-12; Pr 5:20,21; Ec 12:14; Isa 29:15; Jer 23:24Joh 6:70,71; 13:2,21; Ac 5:3,4 there is not.19:14; Job 8:2; 38:2; 42:3,6-8; Zep 1:12; Mal 3:13-16; Mt 12:35-37Jas 1:26; 3:2-10thou knowest.50:19-21; Jer 29:23; Heb 4:12,13 beset me.De 33:27; Job 23:8,9and laid.Ex 24:11; Re 1:17 knowledge.40:5; 13:1; Job 11:7-9; 26:14; 42:3; Pr 30:2-4; Ro 11:33 Jer 23:23,24; Jon 1:3,10; Ac 5:9 I ascend.Eze 28:12-17; Am 9:2-4; Ob 1:4in hell.Job 26:6; 34:21,22; Pr 15:11; Jon 2:2 If I take.Light has been proved, by many experiments, to travel at the astonishing rate of 194,188 miles in one second of time; and comes from the sun to the earth, a distance of 95,513,794 miles in 8 minutes and nearly 12 seconds! But, could I even fly upon the wings or rays of the morning light, which diffuses itself with such velocity over the globe from east to west, instead of being beyond Thy reach, or by this sudden transition be able to escape Thy notice, Thy arm could still at pleasure prevent or arrest my progress, and I should still be encircled with the immensity of Thy essence. The sentiment in this noble passage is remarkably striking and the description truly sublime. the wings.18:10; 19:6; Mal 4:2dwell.74:16,17; Isa 24:14-16 63:8; 73:23; 143:9,10; Isa 41:13 Surely.10:11-13; 94:7; Job 22:12-14; Isa 29:15; Jer 23:24even the night.Job 12:22 the darkness.Ex 14:20; 20:21; Job 26:6; 34:22; Da 2:22; Heb 4:13hideth not.
