Psalms 139: 1-4 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

David the shepherd boy, giant slayer, king and friend of God had inside information. He recognized God as the all powerful, all knowing, ever present Lord of all. He learned to surrender his thoughts and order his words to acknowledge God in all his ways.
Proverbs 3-6 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 16:7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
