Psalms 139:13
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
139:13. For thou hast possessed my reins. Thou art the owner of my inmost parts and passions: not the indweller and observer only, but the acknowledged Lord and possessor of my most secret self. The word reins signifies the kidneys, which by the Hebrews were supposed to be the seat of the desires and longings; but perhaps it indicates here the most hidden and vital portions of the person; this God not only inspects and visits, but it is his own.
Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. There I lay hidden—covered by thee. Before I could know thee, or aught else, thou hadst a care for me, and didst hide me away as a treasure till thou didst see fit to bring me to the light.
