Over at the “For the Love of God” blog, D.A. Carson takes up Psalm 139. He’s concerned that our God is too small:

There is a perverseness to human thoughts about God that would be risible if it were not so tragic. We find ways to make him small. A marvelous antidote is Psalm 139. It paints an exalted picture of God, yet does so in stunningly personal ways, as befits a psalm.

What are the “stunningly personal ways” the psalmist displays an exalted God? Carson details four:

God sees and knows everything (139:1-6).
God is omnipresent, and therefore inescapable (139:7-12).
God is Creator and providential Ruler (139:13-18).
God is utterly holy (139:19-24).
For helpful commentary on each of these points, see the whole post here.
