Psalm 139:10

10 so würde mich doch deine Hand daselbst führen und deine Rechte mich halten.

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 gen Himmel, so bist du da. Bettete ich mir in die Hölle, siehe, so bist du auch da.

9 Nähme ich Flügel der Morgenröte und bliebe am äußersten Meer,

10 so würde mich doch deine Hand daselbst führen und deine Rechte mich halten.

11 Spräche ich: Finsternis möge mich decken! so muß die Nacht auch Licht um mich sein.

12 Denn auch Finsternis ist nicht finster bei dir, und die Nacht leuchtet wie der Tag, Finsternis ist wie das Licht.
