Psalms 139:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 139:5

Compare all

3 ^aYou¹ 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, ^aYou know it altogether.

5 You have¹ hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.

6 ^aSuch knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.

7 ^aWhere can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8 ^aIf I ascend into heaven, You are there;
^bIf I make my bed in¹ hell, behold, You are there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall¹ fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;

12 Indeed, ^athe darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
