Psalms 139:10 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Even there... — The expressions “lead me,” “hold me,” are elsewhere used of the protecting and guiding providence of God (Psalms 5:8; Psalms 23:3; Psalms 27:11; Psalms 73:24). And yet the psalmist speaks here as if he were a guilty being trying to escape from the Divine notice. The truth is a profound one. Even when God discovers and overtakes those who guiltily try to hide from Him, it is to take them under His loving care.

Psalms 139:10

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
