5
The sun is like a groom coming out of the room where he spent his wedding night. The sun is like a great runner who takes delight in running a race.
6
It rises at one end of the heavens. Then it moves across to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat.
7
The law of the LORD is perfect. It gives us new strength. The laws of the LORD can be trusted. They make childish people wise.
8
The rules of the LORD are right. They give joy to our hearts. The commands of the LORD shine brightly. They give light to our minds.
9
The law that brings respect for the LORD is pure. It lasts forever. The directions the LORD gives are true. All of them are completely right.
10
They are more priceless than gold. They have greater value than huge amounts of pure gold. They are sweeter than honey that is taken from the honeycomb.
11
I am warned by them. When I obey them, I am greatly rewarded.
12
Can I know my mistakes? Forgive my hidden faults.
13
Keep me also from the sins I want to commit. May they not be my master. Then I will be without blame. I will not be guilty of any great sin against your law.
14
Lord, may the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing in your eyes. You are 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.
