Context of Psalms 139:14

12even the darkness is not dark to you. The night shines like the day; darkness and light are alike to you. 13For it was you who created my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will praise you because I have been remarkably and wondrously made. Your works are wondrous, and I know this very well. 15My bones were not hidden from you when I was made in secret, when I was formed in the depths of the earth. 16Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all my days were written in your book and planned before a single one of them began.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-16Verses 7-16 We cannot see God, but he can see us. The psalmist did not desire to go from the Lord. Whither can I go?

On the other hand, the believer…Read the comment

Even though life is difficult, he wants to grow in wisdom so that he does not share in the judgment of the wicked (Psalm 141:5; 142:3; 143:8, 10; 144:3–4).
