Psalms 139:17

Compare all

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.

Psalms 139:17

How precious also are thy thoughts - reeycha , thy cogitations; a Chaldaism, as before.

How great is the sum of them! - mah atsemu rasheyhem ; How strongly rational are the heads or principal subjects of them! But the word may apply to the bones, atsamoth , the structure and uses of which are most curious and important.
