In the biblical context, God's knowledge is not limited to actions but extends to the innermost thoughts and intentions of the heart (<a href="/1_samuel/16-7.htm">1 Samuel 16:7</a>, <a href="/hebrews/4-12.htm">Hebrews 4:12-13</a>). This understanding of God's all-knowing nature is foundational to the biblical worldview, where God is portrayed as the ultimate judge who discerns the truth beyond outward appearances. The phrase also reflects the wisdom literature's focus on the limitations of human understanding compared to divine wisdom (<a href="/proverbs/15-11.htm">Proverbs 15:11</a>, <a href="/jeremiah/17-10.htm">Jeremiah 17:10</a>).<p><b>that they are futile</b><br>The futility of human thoughts is a recurring theme in the Bible, highlighting the contrast between human wisdom and God's perfect wisdom (<a href="/1_corinthians/3-19.htm">1 Corinthians 3:19-20</a>). This futility is often linked to the fallen nature of humanity, where human reasoning is marred by sin and limited in scope (<a href="/ecclesiastes/1-2.htm">Ecclesiastes 1:2</a>, <a href="/romans/1-21.htm">Romans 1:21</a>). The acknowledgment of human thoughts as futile serves as a call to humility and reliance on God's wisdom and guidance. It also points to the need for redemption and transformation through Christ, who is the embodiment of divine wisdom (<a href="/colossians/2-3.htm">Colossians 2:3</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal existence, sovereignty, and intimate relationship with His people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/man.htm">Man (Hebrew: 'adam)</a></b><br>Refers to humanity in general, highlighting the frailty and limitations of human nature.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/psalmist.htm">Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of the psalm, traditionally attributed to David, who is expressing a deep trust in God's justice and omniscience.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation to whom the psalm is originally addressed, often struggling with faithfulness and understanding of God's ways.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wicked.htm">The Wicked</a></b><br>Implicit in the context of the psalm, representing those who oppose God's will and oppress His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_omniscience.htm">God's Omniscience</a></b><br>Recognize that God knows all thoughts and intentions, which should lead us to humility and reverence.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/human_limitations.htm">Human Limitations</a></b><br>Acknowledge the futility of human wisdom apart from God, encouraging reliance on divine guidance.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_divine_justice.htm">Trust in Divine Justice</a></b><br>Trust that God is aware of all injustices and will ultimately bring about His righteous judgment.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/pursuit_of_godly_wisdom.htm">Pursuit of Godly Wisdom</a></b><br>Encourage the pursuit of wisdom that aligns with God's Word, rather than relying solely on human understanding.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/self-examination.htm">Self-Examination</a></b><br>Regularly examine our thoughts and motives in light of God's omniscience, seeking to align them with His will.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_94.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 94</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/can_god_perceive_our_thoughts.htm">Can God perceive our thoughts?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_can_humans_teach_an_all-knowing_god.htm">In Job 21:22, how can humans teach God anything if He is described elsewhere as all-knowing and beyond counsel?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_psalm_84_11_align_with_no_sun_worship.htm">If the Lord is described as 'a sun' in Psalm 84:11, how does this symbolism align with the biblical prohibition against sun worship?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_goliath_linked_to_the_nephilim.htm">How are God's thoughts higher than human thoughts?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/94.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(11) <span class= "bld">That they are vanity</span>--The literal rendering, "for they are breath," referring not to thoughts, but to man collectively, gives equally good sense, and would, notwithstanding the order of the words, be natural, since the masculine pronoun is used.
