- God's knowledge encompasses every aspect of our being, from our actions to our innermost thoughts. David continues by affirming that God knows when we sit down and when we rise up; He perceives our thoughts from afar (Psalm 139:2). This indicates that God's knowledge is not limited by physical space or time.

One way Scripture describes God’s exhaustive self-knowledge is by saying that he is a speaking God or, simply, that he is Word: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)
The Psalm begins with a declaration of God's exhaustive knowledge of the psalmist: "O Lord, you have searched me and known me!" (Psalm 139:1, ESV). This opening verse sets the stage for a meditation on the depth and breadth of God's knowledge.

Our wisdom, in so far as it ought to be deemed true and solid Wisdom, consists almost entirely of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves. But as these are connected together by many ties, it is not easy to determine which of the two precedes and gives birth to the other.
Because Scripture is God-given, the very language that God employs to describe himself is accurate, true, reliable, yet not exhaustive, univocal, or equivocal, but analogical. What is needed to know God rightly is to let all of Scripture speak for itself, in its own categories, presentation, and across the entire canon.
Scripture affirms God’s omnipotence by saying that God does whatever he is pleased to do (Psa 115:3; cf. Isa 55:11 and Jer 32:17). Nothing is too hard for him (Gen 18:14). His word is never void of power, so when he speaks, everything in creation obeys him (Isa 55:11).
