Psalms 19:9-14

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.

12 None of us can see our own errors; deliver me, Lord, from hidden faults!

13 Keep me safe, also, from willful sins; don't let them rule over me. Then I shall be perfect and free from the evil of sin.

14 May my words and my thoughts be acceptable to you, O Lord, my refuge and my redeemer!

Psalms 19:9-14 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.
