Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 139:14

"I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well." — Psalms 139:14 (ASV)

For I am ...—Literally, because I am fearfully separated or distinguished (see Note on Psalm 26:7; Psalms 40:5), which might mean separated from the womb, i.e., born. (Psalms 22:10.) Or if the reference is national rather than individual, it would imply, as so frequently, the choice of Israel by Jehovah in distinction to other races.
