Psalms 139:4
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.
3Who have devised injustice in their hearts; All the day they prepared war.
— Psalms 139:4 —
5Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; Rescue me from unjust men; Who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
6The proud have hidden a snare for me, And have stretched out ropes for snares for my feet; They set a stumbling block for me near the path. Pause.
