Amplified Bible

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!(A)

If I could count them, they would outnumber the sand.
When I awake, I am still with You.

[a]O that You would kill the wicked, O God;
Go away from me, therefore, men of bloodshed.(B)

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 139:19 In the first eighteen verses of this psalm, the psalmist acknowledges that God knows everything that the psalmist ever does, no matter when or where he does it. Although God’s vast knowledge of an individual’s deeds can be reassuring for the righteous, it should be frightening for the wicked. In verses 19-24, the psalmist distances himself from the wicked and asks God to help him live in such a way that pleases God.
