The fact that God made the Psalmist was a very humbling. God knew every part of Him physically, emotionally and mentally. There was no hiding from God. This made him examine his life through God and hate evil and become intolerant of those with wicked ways. Knowing that God knew every part of him, in his closing prayer he asks God to search him for any wicked ways in himself so that they might be changed. He then asked God to lead him so that he would not sin against God.

There is a common thread of wonder of God's revealation of Himself through his creation and His word. The Psalmist affirms his awe of Gods word as he does God's creation. I live on a sea coast town and constantly see the changing force of the ocean. It makes me feel so small. I feel the Psalmist's wonder for God's creation every day. The word "basking" brings up a visual picture where I not only see the Psalmist immersed but also not hiding any part of himself from God. By doing this he is asking God to look at him and see that his life and words and thoughts are what they should be.
