God Knows Me; God Tests Me
Psalm 139 is an intensely intimate composition by David, providing comfort and assurance of God’s omnipotent knowledge and care for us. So when we come to verses 19–22, where David asks God to slay the wicked, we often skim over the seemingly strange intrusion. In this message, Alistair Begg turns our attention to David’s puzzling plea, which highlights our own predicament with judgment and evil.
