Psalms 139:1

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 139:1. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

God does not need to "search" us, for that implies a want of knowledge, a knowledge obtained by search. But the meaning of the text is, that God knows us as well as if he had examined us through and through, just as an excise officer searches a house to find contraband goods. "O Lord, thou has searched me, and known me."
