David begins by declaring, “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.” God knows when we sit and when we rise. He understands our thoughts from afar. Before a word is on our tongue, He knows it completely. This shows God’s supremacy in knowledge. Nothing is hidden from Him. Yet this knowledge is not cold or threatening.
