Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 139:17

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the summe of them !

Thy is taken either, 1. passively, my thoughts of thee: or rather, 2. actively, thy thoughts, counse[illegible: 1+ letters]s or cont[illegible: 1+ letters]ivances on my behalf, which are admirable and am[illegible: 1+ letters]able in mine eyes. Thou didst not onely form me at first, but ev[illegible: 1+ letters] [illegible: 1+ letters]ince my conception and birth thy thoughts have been employed for me in preserving and providing for me and blessing of me.

Thy gracious designs and providences towards me are numberless, as it follows.
