Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising. All that I do from one end of the day to the other. Thou understandest my thought afar off; i.e. while it is just forming - long before it is a fully developed thought.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Down-sitting and uprising--as in Deuteronomy 6:7, to denote the whole daily life--business and rest.Thought.--An Aramaic form found nowhere else, but, from one possible derivation ("companion"), meaning the thoughts which are inseparable companions, most intimate thoughts.Comp. Macbeth 3:2:"How now, my lord? Why do you keep alone,Of sorriest fancies your companions making?"Afar off.--Exactly as in Psalm 138:6. Jehovah notes and recognises the proud from afar off, so here though He has His home in heaven He knows what are the thoughts and feelings amid which a man habitually lives. (Comp. Job 22:12-13.) The Hebrew expression literally means, thou hast intelligence as to my thought from afar, an Aramaic expression. . . .
