Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 18. - If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand (comp. Psalm 40:5, "Thy thoughts which are to usward cannot be reckoned up"). When I awake, I am still with thee. I meditate on thee, both sleeping and waking, nor ever find the subject of my thought exhausted.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) If I should . . .--The original is more expressive:--"Let me count them--more than the sand they are many:I have awaked--and still with thee."With the countless mysteries of creation and providence the poet is so occupied, that they are his first waking thought; or, perhaps, as the Hebrew suggests, his dreams are continued into his early thoughts."Is not the vision He? tho' He be not that which He seems?Dreams are true while they last; and do we not live in dreams?"TENNYSON: Higher Pantheism.
