Psalm 139 Summary

Psalm 139 marvels at God’s perfect knowledge of us, his presence everywhere, and his careful creation of each person.

David reflects that God knows his every thought and word, and that there is nowhere he can flee from God’s presence—a truth both searching and comforting.

He praises God for forming him in the womb: ‘I am fearfully and wonderfully made.’ He ends by inviting God to search and lead him.
