6 Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.
O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
`Who `is' this, hiding counsel without knowledge?' Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful for me, and I know not.
Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.
By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find out the Mighty One? Heights of the heavens! -- what dost thou? Deeper than Sheol! -- what knowest thou? Longer than earth `is' its measure, And broader than the sea.
For I am more brutish than any one, And have not the understanding of a man. Nor have I learned wisdom, Yet the knowledge of Holy Ones I know. Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What `is' His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest!

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.
