There may also be a covert allusion to the creation from dust as Ecclesiasticus 40:1, "From the day that they go out of their mother's womb, till the day that they return to the mother of all things." This allusion falls in with the view which meets us in other parts of the Old Testament, that the creation of Adam is repeated at every birth (Job 33:6, and see above, Psalm 139:13). Others, since the expression "lowest places of the earth" is used of the unseen world (Psalm 63:9; comp. Psalm 86:13), see here a confirmation of the view that the state before birth and after death are in this poem regarded as the dark void of night, with all the recesses of which, however, God is acquainted. (Comp. the expressions "Womb of Sheol," "Belly of hell," Jonah 2:2; Ecclesiasticus 51:5.) Verse 15. - My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret.

And curiously wrought; literally, and embroidered, or woven with threads of divers colors (comp. ver. 13b; and note that modern science speaks of the various "tissues" of the human frame, and calls a portion of medical knowledge "histology"). In the lowest parts of the earth. This is scarcely to be taken literally. It is perhaps only a variant for the "secretly" of the preceding clause. 139:7-16 We cannot see God, but he can see us. The psalmist did not desire to go from the Lord. Whither can I go? In the most distant corners of the world, in heaven, or in hell, I cannot go out of thy reach. No veil can hide us from God; not the thickest darkness. No disguise can save any person or action from being seen in the true light by him. Secret haunts of sin are as open before God as the most open villanies. On the other hand, the believer cannot be removed from the supporting, comforting presence of his Almighty Friend. Should the persecutor take his life, his soul will the sooner ascend to heaven. The grave cannot separate his body from the love of his Saviour, who will raise it a glorious body. No outward circumstances can separate him from his Lord. While in the path of duty, he may be happy in any situation, by the exercise of faith, hope, and prayer.Jump to Previous Bones Depths Earth Formed Frame Hid Hidden Lowest Part Parts Secret Secretly Skillfully Strangely Substance Together Unseen Wasn't Woven WroughtJump to Next Bones Depths Earth Formed Frame Hid Hidden Lowest Part Parts Secret Secretly Skillfully Strangely Substance Together Unseen Wasn't Woven WroughtLinks Psalm 139:15 NIVPsalm 139:15 NLT Psalm 139:15 ESV Psalm 139:15 NASB Psalm 139:15 KJV Psalm 139:15 Bible Apps Psalm 139:15 Biblia Paralela Psalm 139:15 Chinese Bible Psalm 139:15 French Bible Psalm 139:15 German Bible Alphabetical: And depths earth frame from hidden I in made My not of place secret skillfully the together was when woven wrought you OT Poetry: Psalm 139:15 My frame wasn't hidden from you when (Psalm Ps Psa.)
