David wrote this psalm during a time of hostility. It is comprised of the significant truths that were important to David during his time of distress.

In Psalm 139:1-6:

David praises God's limitless knowledge. He sees God as having a lot of familiarity with him: when he sits down and gets up, his considerations and behavior, and, surprisingly, the words that are in him before he communicates them. He expresses that God's knowledge is a long way outside his ability to understand. This segment of the psalm goes before the segment that spotlights on God's inescapable presence all around (omnipresence).

In Psalm 139:7-12:

David follows a section that points toward on God's all-knowingness (omniscience). This segment of the psalm portrays his omnipresence, which is his capacity to be wherever without a moment's delay. David specifies a portion of the areas that he could go, just to find that God is there. This information on God's presence helps David to be comforted. He realized that wherever he went, God would be with him.

In Psalm 139:13-16:

David depicts God's supremacy (omnipotence), which is God’s ability of being almighty. David portrayed God's omniscience and omnipresence in verses one - six and in verses seven – twelve, respectively. In this segment, he interfaces God’s omnipotence to the manner in which God made the psalmist in the womb of his mother.

In Psalm 139:17-24:

David accentuates God's equity (justice). Earlier areas of this psalm took the stand concerning God's all-knowingness (omniscience) (Psalm 139:1-6), his inescapability (omnipresence) (Psalm 139:7-12), and his supremacy (omnipotence) (Psalm 139:13-16). David celebrates in God's considerations and closeness yet scorns the evil around him. He yearns for God to destroy them. He considers God's adversaries to be his own foes yet is very conscious about the likelihood that wrongdoing abides in him. Hence, he requests that God search him and lead him in the manner never-ending.

In verses 1-7:

In some cases, we do not allow some individuals to get to know us totally on the grounds that we are anxious about the possibility that they will find something about us that they would not like. In any case, God definitely has a deep understanding of us, even the quantity of hairs on our heads (Matthew 10:30). Yet despite everything, he acknowledges and cherishes us. He is with us through each circumstance and in each situation giving us security, love, and direction. He knows and loves us totally (Psalm 44:21; Jeremiah 23:24).

God is omnipresent, and that implies that he is available all over everywhere and he is available all the time. And because of this, we can never be lost from his Spirit. This is uplifting news to the people who trust and believe in God. Regardless of where we may go or what we may do, we can never be excessively far from God's soothing presence (Romans 8:35-39).

In verses 13-18:

God's personality (character) goes into the formation of each individual. Whenever we feel useless or regardless of whether we start to detest ourselves, we should recall that God's Spirit is eager to get going to work inside us. God has consideration toward us continually (Psalm 139:17-18). We ought to have as much regard for ourselves as our Maker has for us (Psalm 119:73; Job 10:8-10).

When somebody that we love is thinking us constantly, it gives us solace. God does not want us to fall, but he is there to catch us if and when we fall. Since he considers us this much, we ought to carve out the opportunity in our busy lives every day to think about him and talk to him.

In verses 19-24:

David's disdain of his foes came from his dedication for God. David viewed his foes as God's adversaries, so his scorn was a longing for God's upright equity and not really for personal retribution. Is it by any stretch of the imagination to have resentment toward individuals who cannot seem to loathe God? Indeed, yet we should recollect that God will manage them, not us. In the event that we genuinely love God, we will be profoundly harmed assuming somebody cannot stand him (Isaiah 11:4; Exodus 20:7).

David requested that God search his heart and mind. He wanted God to point out any off-base intentions that might have been behind his harsh words. In any case, while we look for justice against the world’s evil, we should likewise supplicate that God's adversaries will come to him before he decides and condemns them (Matthew 5:44; Psalm 26:2).

David approached God and asked him to search within him for any wrongdoing in his life and to point it out. He even requested that God evaluate his thoughts. How are we to perceive sin except if God puts in a remembrance of our wrongdoing? At the point when God shows us our transgression, we should realize that we can repent of our sin and be forgiven. If we will request that God search our hearts and minds to uncover any sin that might be in our lives, we will proceed to continue in God's direction with his love and grace.
