Does not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
Does not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
Doth not he see my ways, And number all my steps?
Does he not see my ways, and are not my steps all numbered?
Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
Doesn't he see my ways, and number all my steps?
Doth not he see my ways, and number all my steps?
Doth not he see my ways - Can I suppose that I could screen myself from the eye of God while guilty of such iniquities?
Doth he not see my ways? - This either means that God was a witness of all that he did - his thoughts, words, and deeds, and would punish him if he had given indulgence to improper feelings and thoughts; or that since God saw all his thoughts, he could boldly appeal to him as a witness of his innocence in this matter, and in proof that his life and heart were pure. Rosenmuller adopts the latter interpretation; Herder seems to incline to the former. Umbreit renders it, "God himself must be a witness that I speak the truth." It is not easy to determine which is the true meaning. Either of them will accord well with the scope of the passage.
