Psalms, 139
6. The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.

Psalm 139 is a poetic meditation on the omnipresence and omniscience of God, who deeply knows the human being from birth to his death. The main themes are the intimate relationship between God and the human being, his creative omnipotence and his providential care. Below are five verses related to these themes:
Genesis 1:27: "God created man in his image, in the image of God created him; man and woman created them." This verse speaks of the creation of the human being to the image of God, a theme that is mentioned in Psalm 139 in the verses that claim that we were formed within our mother by the divine hand.
Proverbs 15:3: "The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, carefully watching the wicked and the good." This verse emphasizes the omnipresence and omniscience of God, themes that are central to Psalm 139 in the verses that speak of the divine presence everywhere and God's ability to know our most intimate thoughts.
Jeremiah 1:5: "Before I formed you in the maternal womb, I met you, and, before you left the Mother, I consecrated you and constituted you prophet to the nations." This verse speaks of divine choice from the maternal womb, a theme that is approached in Psalm 139 in the verses that speak of divine predestination and God's pursuit of their servants.
Matthew 10:29-31: "Don't two sparrows be sold by a penny? However, none of them fall to the ground without your father's consent. And even your hair in your head are all numbered. So be afraid; You are worth more than many sparrows! " This verse speaks of the providential care of God, which is a theme present in Psalm 139 in the verses that speak of divine protection from the maternal womb and divine accompaniment at all times of life.
Romans 8:38-39: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor demons, the present nor the future, no powers, height nor depth, nor anything in creation will be able to separate us. of the love of God who is in Christ Jesus, our Lord. " This verse speaks of God's unconditional love, a central theme in Psalm 139 in the verses that claim that we have been tissues in the maternal womb for divine love and that we are deeply known to God.
