Psalm 139:1 - Additional Comments

Psalm 139 is a lament that tells us what gave King David the ability to endure the struggles in his life. David was surrounded by enemies determined to destroy him, just as we are surrounded by the powers of death. This psalm reveals the resources which will help us cope with our crises. The psalm consists of four paragraphs, each composed of six verses, and each pointing to an attribute of God. Those four attributes are the omniscience, the omnipresence, the sovereignty, and the holiness of God, as they relate to our personal experience. In other words, God knows us completely (that's omniscience). He is with us no matter where we are (that's omnipresence). He is in control of our life (that's sovereignty). And He is our guide to holiness.
