God Near and Yet Afar
A. Maclaren, D. D. Psalm 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. There may as well be no God, as far as a great many of us are concerned, in the most important matters of our lives, as a God that we never think about. He is not far from "every one of us"; but we may be very far from Him, and we are very far from Him unless by effort we set Him before us. (A. Maclaren, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. WEB: I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
