Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 139:14

I am fearfully and wonderfully made. This is true of man in his fourfold state.

1. In his primitive integrity.

2. In his deplorable depravity.

3. In his regeneration.

4. In his fixed state in hell or heaven. —W.W.

Verses 17-18. The Psalm dilates upon the omniscience of God. In no mournful manner, but the reverse.

1. God's thoughts of us. a) How certain. b) How numerous. c) How condescending. d) How tender. e) How wise. f) How practical. g) How constant.

2. Our thoughts upon his thoughts. a) How late and yet how due to the subject. b) How delightful. d) How consoling. e) How strengthening to faith. f) How arousing to love.

3. Our thoughts upon God himself. a) They place us near God. b) They keep us near God. c) They restore us to him. We are with God when we awake from sleep, from lethargy, from death.

Verses 17-18.

1. The saint precious to God. He thinks of him tenderly; in countless ways; perpetually.

2. God precious to the saints. Noting God's loving kindnesses, numbering them, newly awakening to them.

3. The mingling of these loves: "I am still with thee." —W.B.H.
