Holy Scripture
Psalms 139:3
A church father on this verse
“"Thou hast understood my thoughts from afar; Thou hast tracked out my path and my limit" (ver. 3); "and all my ways Thou hast seen beforehand" (ver. 4). What is, "from afar"? While I am yet in my pilgrimage, before I reach that, my true country, Thou hast known my thoughts. ...The younger son went into a far country.…”

2Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man; Deliver me from the unjust man.
— Psalms 139:3 —
4They have sharpened their tongue as the tongue of a serpent; The poison of asps is under their lips. Pause.
5Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; Rescue me from unjust men; Who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
