PSALM 139
SEARCH ME, O GOD, AND KNOW MY HEART
God has searched and known David; He is familiar with all of his ways. David acknowledges that God's ways are more significant and higher than his own and that humanity cannot comprehend God’s tremendous capacity or knowledge. David desires to be filled with God’s righteousness and follow His ways.
David comments on God’s omnipotence, knowing that he cannot outrun God’s presence.
He also speaks to how God carefully created him and has known him since the womb. Because all of God’s creation is wonderful, David believes that he is fearfully and wonderfully made.
Psalm 139:14 ESV - "I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well."
