Psalms 139:1-8

1 David praises God for his all-seeing providence;

17 and for his infinite mercies.

19 He defies the wicked.

23 He prays for sincerity.

A.M. 2956. B.C. 1048. (Title.) A Psalm.This Psalm is supposed to have been composed by David when made king of Israel; though some think it was written by him when accused of traitorous designs against Saul. It is a most sublime ode on the wisdom, knowledge, presence, and justice of God: the sentiments are grand, the style highly elevated, and the images various, beautiful, and impressive.
