Psalm 139

Jamieson, Fausset and Brown’s Commentary (1871)

Three Scottish scholars’ careful, compact notes on every verse: good on meaning, history and the original languages.

Psa 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.
