Psalms 139:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 139:7

Compare all

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.

13 For You¹ formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.

14 I will praise You, for¹ I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.

15 ^aMy¹ frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

17 ^aHow precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.

19 Oh, that You would ^aslay the wicked, O God!
^bDepart from me, therefore, you¹ bloodthirsty men.

20 For they ^aspeak against You wickedly;
¹Your enemies take Your name in vain.

21 ^aDo I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?

22 I hate them with¹ perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
