Psalms 139:2 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. My downsitting and mine uprising - Even these inconsiderable and casual things are under thy continual notice. I cannot so much as take a seat, or leave it, without being marked by thee.

Thou understandest my thought - לרעי lerei, "my cogitation." This word is Chaldee, see Daniel 2:29, Daniel 2:30.

Afar off - While the figment is forming that shall produce them.

Psalms 139:2

2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
