Psalm 19:7-11

7 The law of the Lord is perfect; it gives new strength. The commands of the Lord are trustworthy, giving wisdom to those who lack it.

8 The laws of the Lord are right, and those who obey them are happy. The commands of the Lord are just and give understanding to the mind.

9 Reverence for the Lord is good; it will continue forever. The judgments of the Lord are just; they are always fair.

10 They are more desirable than the finest gold; they are sweeter than the purest honey.

11 They give knowledge to me, your servant; I am rewarded for obeying them.

Psalm 19:7-11 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.
