WORDS OF CURRENT INTEREST

[The words in this issue are realted to the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly designated to be read in Christian Science churches on February 9, 1964.]

Thou compassest my path and my lying down (Ps. 139:3)

The Hebrew verb which is here rendereed "compass" has the literal meaning of "sift" or "winnow," and when used in a figurative sense, as in this context, the sifting in question would seem to suggest careful examination, as in our phrase "to sift evidence." Moffatt translates, "Walking or resting, I am scanned by thee."

When I awake, I am still with thee (Ps. 139:18)
