Commentary on Psalms 139:14

Theological / Devotional

Wonderfully made. There is considerable uncertainty as to the exact translation of this verse. The LXX reads, “I will give thee thanks; for thou art fearfully wondrous.” The other ancient versions support this reading. The Hebrew tends to support the translation of the KJV. According to this, the psalmist is extolling the wonders of the human frame. The great advance in medical knowledge since this was written has revealed hitherto unknown marvels in the human mechanism.
