02.139. Psalm 139

Psalms 139:1-24 To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David. This psalm was probably penned by David, while he was loaded with some vile reproaches; and contains, (1.) His celebration of, 1. The omniscience, Psalms 139:1-6; 2. The omnipresence, Psalms 139:7-12; and 3. The creating-kindness of God, Psalms 139:13-16. (2.) His improvement of these in, 1. Devout meditation on God, Psalms 139:17-18; 2. In detestation of wicked men, Psalms 139:19-22; 3. In solemn profession of his uprightness before God, Psalms 139:23-24.

Let me sing, let me pray, let me live, always under the deepest impressions of God’s eye upon me; his presence with me; his formation of me; his new-covenant relation to me; and his everlasting redemption of my soul. Let my nights and my days be filled up with precious, with fixed, with pleasant thoughts concerning these, and holy improvements of them. Let me never make the Lord’s enemies my intimates. Let a thorough purgation from sin and progress in holiness, be the delight, the earnest desire of my soul.
