“For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.”
Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely. God's knowledge extends to human speech before it is uttered; divine omniscience anticipates what humans have not yet consciously formulated. The temporal paradox (before a word is on my tongue) suggests that God's knowledge transcends human sequential consciousness and temporality. The comprehleteness of this foreknowledge emphasizes that nothing about human utterance surprises or remains unknown to God. This verse demonstrates that human thought itself lies within the sphere of God's exhaustive knowledge.
