His Wonderful Works

Psalm 139:13–14 “13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

What Has God Done?

I Know That!

David is writing this Psalm as a lament despite it being such a wonderful hymn of all the good things God does. It still ends with David seeking justice from his enemies.

Psalm 139 NIV

19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty! 20 They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. 21 Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you? 22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies. 23 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

This wonderful Psalm filled with such amazing truths has a different implication now. David is praising and worshipping God not just to declare his praises, but to maintain his faith in the God who has not failed him yet.

We have a God who knows everything about us.
