PSALMS 139:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Ps 139:17Ps 139:19
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
If I try to count them, they are more than the sand; when I awake, I am still with you. The attempt to count God's thoughts fails due to their exceeding number; they surpass even the sand of the sea in quantity. The failure to count becomes source not of frustration but of continued communion (when I awake, I am still with you). The final phrase returns to the fundamental claim: the psalmist awakens to find themselves still in relationship with the omniscient God. This verse concludes the psalm by affirming that the overwhelming reality of divine omniscience terminates not in despair but in continued relationship and presence.
