Psalm 19:5-14

Listen to Psalm 19:5-14
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
6 Its 1rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 2The law of the LORD is 3perfect, 4restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is 5sure, making 6wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are 7right, 8rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is 9pure, 10enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are 11true; they are 12righteous altogether.
10 They are more desirable than 13gold, yes, than much fine gold; 14Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them 15Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great 16reward.
12 Who can 17discern his errors? 18Acquit me of 19hidden faults.
13 Also keep back Your servant 20from presumptuous sins; Let them not 21rule over me; Then I will be 22blameless, And I shall be acquitted of 23great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and 24the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, 25my rock and my 26Redeemer.

Psalm 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.
