God's Mind is Beyond Ours
The psalmist expresses profound awe at God's complete knowledge. Commentators like Calvin and Barnes explain this isn't just about God knowing more than us; His knowledge is of a completely different, higher order. It's 'too wonderful' and 'high,' meaning we cannot fully grasp it. This verse invites us to humbly accept our intellectual limits before an infinitely wise God, rather than trying to measure Him by our own understanding.
