VERSE 1
- 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.

  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
