Salmos 139:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 139:4

For [there is] not a word in my tongue
Expressed by it or upon it, just ready to be spoken; or, as the Targum,

``when there is no word in my tongue:''

so Aben Ezra,

``before it was perfect in my tongue:''

before it is formed there; while it is in the mind, and not expressed, and even before that;

[but], lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether;
the whole of it, from whence it springs; the reason of it, what is designed, or the ends to be answered by it. The Lord knows the good words of his people, which they speak to him in prayer, even before and while they are speaking them; and what they say to one another in private conversation, ( Isaiah 65:24 ) ( Malachi 3:16 ) . See an instance of words known by Christ before spoken, in ( Luke 19:31 Luke 19:33 ) .

Salmos 139:4 In-Context

2 Tú has conocido mi sentarme y mi levantarme, Has entendido desde lejos mis pensamientos.
3 Mi senda y mi acostarme has rodeado, Y estás impuesto en todos mis caminos.
4 Pues aun no está la palabra en mi lengua, Y he aquí, oh Jehová, tú la sabes toda.
5 Detrás y delante me guarneciste, Y sobre mí pusiste tu mano.
6 Más maravillosa es la ciencia que mi capacidad; Alta es, no puedo comprenderla.
