Psalms 139:14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
139:14. I will praise thee. A good resolve, and one which he was even now carrying out. Those who wish to praise have subjects for adoration ready to hand. We too seldom remember our creation, and all the skill and kindness bestowed upon our frame.
For I am fearfully and wonderfully made. The science of anatomy was quite unknown to the psalmist, and yet he had seen enough to arouse his admiration of the work and his reverence for the Worker.
Marvelous are thy works. These parts of my frame are all thy works; and though they be close under my own eye, yet are they wonderful to the last degree. They are within my own self, yet beyond my understanding. We need not go to the ends of the earth for marvels; they abound in our own bodies.
And that my soul knoweth right well. He was no doubter—his soul knew. Those know of a truth who first know the Lord, and then know all things in him. He was made to know the marvelous nature of God’s work with assurance and accuracy, for he had found by experience that the Lord is a master-worker, performing inimitable wonders when accomplishing his kind designs. What shall we not say of that new birth which is even more mysterious than the first, and exhibits even more the love and wisdom of the Lord?
