"The waters shall be healed"

John Randall Dunn

What utterly unique word pictures, couched in the delightsome imagery of the East, were drawn by the Hebrew writers and prophets! The Bible truly is a gallery whose walls are adorned with literary gems and poetic masterpieces. Let us consider, for example, two verses of the one hundred and thirty-ninth Psalm. David, that word painter par excellence, evidently desiring to bring out a sense of the omnipresence of Spirit, could not content himself with the simple statement that God fills spiritual immensity. Hear the poetic cadence of these lines:

"If I take the wings of the morning,
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
"Even there shall thy hand lead me, and
thy right hand shall hold me."
