1. "But most of all, what we see here is that we see God for who he is, while at the same time, we see ourselves for who we are. And David in this psalm makes the argument that God is all-knowing, he is all-present, and he is all-powerful. And so David says, look at God in this way. You see God in these different ways. You will see God for who he is." [35:43] (28 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
2. "David says, there's nothing that I do, that God, you do not see. But if I travel, God, you see. That if I lay down again, God, you see. If the lights are out, God, you still see. There's nothing that goes on that God misses." [41:20] (18 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
3. "And so David says that you encircle me, God. What he's doing is borrowing the idea of a siege, where a city would be there in the middle, and then an army would surround it on all sides so that no one comes, no one comes, no one comes, no one goes. Everything is under constant observation. And so David says that, God, you've encircled me. It's like a siege, God, you're all around me. You see all, you know all."

4. "And then David, he says, you're this wondrous knowledge. It's beyond me. It's lofty. I am unable to reach it. And so David talks about this wondrous knowledge. And he lays out the comfort. He says, God, you have knowledge of my thoughts. He said, even before I'm thinking the thought, God, you already know it. He says, you have knowledge of my ways, my travels, my standing up, my laying down, my rest. That God, you are well aware of all these things."

5. "And then verse 18, if I counted them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. We're talking about God's knowledge. It's so vast, it would outnumber the sand. And when I wake up, I am still with you. He says, God's watching over me even as I sleep. And nothing keeps us from him." [58:31] (27 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
