Psalms 19:2-12

2 One day provides a word for the next day, and one night declares wisdom unto the next night.

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

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

5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber and rejoices as a strong man to run a 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 the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the rights of the LORD are true, they are all just.

10 More to be desired are they than gold, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them is thy slave warned, and in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

Psalms 19:2-12 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.
