Commentary on Psalms 139 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Matthew Henry   John Gill   Keil & Delitzsch  

PSALM 139

Ps 139:1-24. After presenting the sublime doctrines of God's omnipresence and omniscience, the Psalmist appeals to Him, avowing his innocence, his abhorrence of the wicked, and his ready submission to the closest scrutiny. Admonition to the wicked and comfort to the pious are alike implied inferences from these doctrines.
