Psalm 139:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 139:10

Even there shall thy hand lead me
For he could not get there with all the assistance of the wings of the morning, could they be had, without the leadings of divine Providence; and when there, being a good man, should experience the leadings of divine grace; let the people of God be where they will, he heads them as a parent his child, teaching him to go; and as a shepherd his flock, into green pastures, and to fountains of living water; he leads to himself, and to his Son by his Spirit; into communion and fellowship with them, and to a participation of all blessings grace; guides them with his counsel, and directs all their ways and going;

and thy right hand shall hold me;
the Lord lays hold on his people, and apprehends them for himself, and claims his interest in them; he holds them in his ways, that they slip and fall not; he upholds them with the right hand of his righteousness, and they are safe; and he holds them from going into or on in wrong ways to their hurt.

Psalm 139:10 In-Context

8 Führe ich auf zum Himmel, du bist da; und bettete ich mir in dem Scheol, siehe, du bist da.

9 Nähme ich Flügel der Morgenröte, ließe ich mich nieder am äußersten Ende des Meeres,

10 auch daselbst würde deine Hand mich leiten, und deine Rechte mich fassen.

11 Und spräche ich: Nur Finsternis möge mich umhüllen, und Nacht werde das Licht um mich her:

12 Auch Finsternis würde vor dir nicht verfinstern, und die Nacht würde leuchten wie der Tag, die Finsternis wäre wie das Licht.
