Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 13. - For thou hast possessed my reins. Thou knowest me and seest me always, because thou madest me. Thy omniscience and thy omnipresence both rest upon thine omnipotence. Thou hast covered me (rather, woven me) in my mother's womb (comp. Job 10:11).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) For . . .--The mystery of birth regarded as one of the greatest mysteries (see Ecclesiastes 11:5), is a proof of God's omniscience.Possessed.--The context seems to require formed, fashioned, as, according to Gesenius, in Deuteronomy 32:6, (Authorised Version "bought") (Comp. Genesis 14:19, where maker should be read for possessor.)For "reins" see Psalm 16:7.Covered me.--Most critics render here didst weave me. (Comp. Job 10:11.) But the usual sense of the word cover or protect, suits equally well. The prime thought is that every birth is a divine creation. . . .
