Psalms 139:12

Psalms 139:12. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

This is a very commonplace truth, and yet how seldom do men realize it! They still fancy that, when the night comes on, and they are not perceived by mortal eyes, they may do what they will; but there is no curtain in the night that can hide a deed of guilt from the eye of the omniscient Jehovah: "The darkness and the light are both alike to thee."

Almighty God, thy piercing eye

Strikes through the shades of night;

And our most secret actions lies

All open to thy sight.
