STUDIES IN THE PSALMS. 11
22. What experience awaits the sinners?
23. What will become of the wicked?
24. What exhortation is now repeated?
25. What significant word closes the psalm?
Notes.
Still the psalmist sings of the eternal mercies of God and His
wonderful providence. Now he shows that divine care is over
even the innumerable forms of life beneath the broad expanse
of the ocean. All wait upon God, and not one is forgotten.
Luke 12:6, 7, 24. But that which is given, “they gather.” Busy
activity is the law of life for all creatures.
“The Lord shall rejoice in His works” See Ps. 147:11;
Zeph. 3:16, 17. The earth itself is represented as responding
to a look from the Creator. This sensitiveness of all creation
to the touch of God leads the psalmist to declare his purpose,
to meditate on God’s care and glory continually. The advent
idea pervades the psalms. Here is the divinely-inspired prayer
for the blotting out of sin, which mars creation. It is the same
prayer that closes the book of Revelation. Rev. 22:20.

LESSON IV.—An Exhortation to Make Known the
Wondrous Works of God.
JANUARY 24.
PSALM I05:I-13.
Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon His name;
Make known among the peoples His doings.
Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him;
Talk ye of all His marvelous works.
Glory ye in His holy name;
“Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that He will send
forth laborers into His harvest”
