11 For what man knows the things of a man, except the spirit of man which is in him\nPsalm 139 New King James Version (NKJV)\nGod\u2019s Perfect Knowledge of Man\nFor the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.\n139 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.\n2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;\nYou understand my thought afar off.\n3 You [a]comprehend my path and my lying down,\nAnd are acquainted with all my ways.\n4 For there is not a word on my tongue,\nBut behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.\n5 You have [b]hedged me behind and before,\nAnd laid Your hand upon me.\n6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;\nIt is high, I cannot attain it.\n\n7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?\nOr where can I flee from Your presence?\n8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;\nIf I make my bed in [c]hell, behold, You are there.\n9 If I take the wings of the morning,\nAnd dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,\n10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,\nAnd Your right hand shall hold me.\n11 If I say, \u201cSurely the darkness shall [d]fall on me,\u201d\nEven the night shall be light about me;\n12 Indeed, the darkness [e]shall not hide from You,\nBut the night shines as the day;\nThe darkness and the light are both alike to You.\n\n13 For You formed my inward parts;\nYou [f]covered me in my mother\u2019s womb.\n14 I will praise You, for [g]I am fearfully and wonderfully made;\nMarvelous are Your works,\nAnd that my soul knows very well. ps 139\n\n\nSometimes it is used to distinguish the soul from the body (Gen. 35:18). Spirit is almost always used for the immaterial dimension of humans and is sometimes used interchangeable with soul (Luke 1:46, 24:38\u201339; James 2:26; John 19:30, 4:24). The term heart is used for the whole inner person and includes the mind (Rom. 10:9; Deut. 6:5; Matt. 12:34). The term mind is used for the inner dimension that thinks and imagines (Mark 12:30; 12:2; Rom. 8:6\u20137, 12:2; 2 Cor. 10:5). Likewise, there are terms used for the material dimension of humans. Body is used for the material aspect of humans (Matt. 10:28; James 2:26; 1 Cor. 15:42\u201344, 53) and flesh is used for the physical dimension (Luke 24:39; Acts 2:31). Some phrases are also used, \u201cflesh and blood\u201d (Matt. 16:17; 1 Cor. 15:50) emphasizes the mortal aspect of humans. Analogies are also found in Scripture, especially by Paul who uses \u201cearthen vessel\u201d (2 Cor. 4:7), \u201cearthly tent\u201d (2 Cor. 5:1; John 1:14) and \u201coutward man\u201d (2 Cor. 4:16).\n\nGeisler, Norman L..
