Psalm 19:1-7

Listen to Psalm 19:1-7

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth the work of his hands.

2 Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night showeth knowledge.

3 [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard.

4 Their line hath gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

5 Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

6 His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his circuit to the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from his heat.

7 The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.

Psalm 19:1-7 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.
