For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.

EXPLANATION

Verse 6. To me. Lit. “from me,” ex me. Hebrew “above me,” ( Bible.) or “more than I,” (Houbig.) which seems little. “The knowledge which thou hast of me is admirable.” Bert.—To consider attentively the workmanship of man, we shall be filled with astonishment, ( Menochius.) as the Jews explain this passage, ( Calmet.) and as the Vulg. seems to intimate. Bible.—The formation of the body, and its union with the soul, are truly astonishing. This gives the highest idea of the divine wisdom. Bible.—By experience we are convinced that his knowledge surpasses our comprehension. Worthington.
