Psalm 139:1-6, 23-24
God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man
139:title For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 O Lord, (Ps. 17:3; Jer. 12:3) You have searched me and known me.
2 ( 2 Kin. 19:27) You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You (Is. 66:18; Matt. 9:4) understand my thought afar off.
3 (Job 14:16; 31:4) You (Lit. winnow) comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, [Heb. 4:13] You know it altogether.
5 You have ( enclosed) hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 (Job 42:3; Ps. 40:5) Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
23 (Job 31:6; Ps. 26:2) Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And (Ps. 5:8; 143:10) lead me in the way everlasting.
