“Where shall I go from Your Spirit? Where shall I flee from Your presence?” Psalm 139:7
“我往哪里去躲避你的灵？我往哪里逃躲避你的面？”诗篇139:7
The omnipresence of God! How baffling to any finite comprehension! To think that above us, and around us, and within us-there is Deity-the invisible footprints of an Omniscient, Omnipresent One!
神的无所不在！这对任何有限的理解力是多么令人困惑！想想在我们之上，我们周围，和我们里面都有神性-那全知全在者无形的足迹！
“His Eyes are in every place!” On rolling planets-and tiny atoms; on the bright seraph-and the lowly worm; roaming in searching scrutiny through the tracks of immensity-and reading the dark and hidden page of my heart! “All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do!”
“他的眼目无处不在！”在运转的行星上-和微小的原子上；在光明的天使-和卑微的虫子身上；在浩瀚的宇宙中巡视搜索-并阅读我内心隐秘的篇章！”万物在那与我们有关系的主眼前，都是赤露敞开的！”
O God! shall this Your Omnipresence appall me? No! In my seasons of sadness and sorrow and loneliness-when other comforts and comforters have failed-when, it may be, in the darkness and silence of some midnight hour, in vain I have sought repose-how sweet to think, “My God is here! I am not alone. The Omniscient One, to whom the darkness and the light are both alike-is hovering over my sleepless pillow!” O my Unsetting Sun, it cannot be darkness or loneliness or sadness-where You are. There can be no night to the soul which has been cheered with Your glorious radiance!
哦神！你的无所不在会让我惊恐吗？不！在我悲伤忧愁和孤独的时候-当其他安慰和安慰者都失效时-当在某个午夜时分的黑暗和寂静中，我徒然寻求安息-想到”我的神在这里！我并不孤单。那位黑暗和光明在他面前都一样的全知者-正守护在我失眠的枕边！”是多么甜美。哦，我永不落的太阳，有你在的地方就不会有黑暗或孤独或悲伤。对于已经被你荣耀光辉照亮的灵魂来说，就没有黑夜！
“Surely, I am with you always!” How precious, blessed Jesus, is this, Your legacy of parting love! Present with each of Your people until the end of time-ever present, omnipresent. The true “Pillar of cloud” by day-and “Pillar of fire” by night, preceding and encamping by us in every step of our wilderness journey. My soul! think of Him at this moment-as present with every member of the family that He has redeemed with His blood! Yes, and as much present with every individual soul, as if He had none other to care for-but as if that one engrossed all His affection and love!
“我必与你们同在！”亲爱的耶稣啊，这你临别的爱的遗产是多么宝贵！直到时间的终结，你都与每一个属你的人同在-永远同在，无处不在。白天真实的”云柱”-夜晚的”火柱”，在我们旷野之旅的每一步都在前引领和护卫。我的灵啊！此刻想想他-他与每一个被他宝血救赎的家庭成员同在！是的，他与每个灵魂同在的程度，就好像他没有其他人要照顾-就好像那一个占据了他所有的爱与关怀！
The Great Builder-surveying every stone and pillar of His spiritual temple;
伟大的建造者-检视祂属灵圣殿的每一块石头和每一根柱子；
the Great Shepherd-with His eye on every sheep of His fold;
伟大的牧者-祂的眼目看顾着羊圈中的每一只羊；
the Great High Priest-marking every tear-drop; noting every sorrow; listening to every prayer; knowing the peculiarities of every case: no number perplexing Him-no variety bewildering Him; able to attend to all, and satisfy all, and answer all-myriads drawing hourly from His Treasury-and yet no diminution of that Treasury-ever emptying, and yet ever filling, and always full!
伟大的大祭司-记录每一滴泪水；留意每一个忧伤；聆听每一个祷告；了解每个案例的特殊性：数量不会使祂困惑-变化不会使祂迷惘；能够照顾所有，满足所有，回应所有-千万人每时每刻从祂的宝库支取-然而这宝库却永不减少-总是在倾倒，却又总是在充满，永远丰盈！
Jesus! Your perpetual and all-pervading presence turns darkness into day! I am not left un-befriended to weather the storms of life-Your hand is from hour to hour piloting my frail vessel.
耶稣！祢永恒和无所不在的同在使黑暗变为白昼！我并非孤独无助地经历人生的风暴-祢的手时时刻刻在掌舵我脆弱的船只。
The omnipresence of God-gracious antidote to every earthly sorrow!
神的无所不在-是对付世间一切忧伤的恩慈解药！
“I have set the Lord always before me!” Even now, as night is drawing its curtains around me, be this my closing prayer: “Blessed Savior! abide with me, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent! Under the shadowing wings of Your presence and love, I will both lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O Lord, make me live in safety!” Psalm 4:8
“我将耶和华常摆在我面前！”此刻，当夜幕降临我周围时，愿这成为我的晚祷：”蒙福的救主！与我同住，因为天已近黄昏，白日将尽！在祢同在和慈爱的荫翼下，我必安然躺卧睡觉，因为独有祢耶和华使我安然居住！”诗篇4:8
