5
And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.
6
His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7
The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;
8
The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:
10
They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.
11
Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping them there is great reward.
12
Who understandeth [his] errors? Purify me from secret [faults].
13
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be innocent from great transgression.
14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.

Psalms 19:5-14 Meaning and Commentary
To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. This psalm was penned by David, and inscribed to the chief musician, as others, to be used in public service, and was designed for Gospel times, as the subject of it shows; which is first, not an account of the light of nature, and then of the law of Moses, but of the Gospel of Christ; and especially as ministered in the times of the apostles, as a citation out of it in Romans 10:18, makes clear.
