Psalms 139

COA1655

Psalms 139:8

my bed in hell] In the grave.

Psalms 139:15

in the lowest parts of the earth] His mothers womb, Eccles. XI. 5. So Ephes. IV. 9. may be understood of Christs Incarnation. Sometimes this phrase is meant of the Grave; as Psal. LXIII. 9.

Psalms 139:18

when I awake I am still with thee] Still meditating of thee, and finding new occasions to think of thee, and praise thee. Or, I watch night and day to be found still cleaving to thee. Or, when I have spent the whole day in those pretious thoughts of thee verse 17. the next morning I am where I was, I am but at the beginning still; the more I think of them, the more wonderful they appear to me still.

Psalms 139:19

Surely] This may be rendered here as a Wish.
