Psalm Ps. 19. In singing this psalm, God’s people celebrate his law as his supreme revelation of himself. The psalm recounts the way the creation speaks of its Maker (vv. 1–6), and the way the Mosaic law addresses the soul (vv. 7–11). This calls for a humble response (vv. 12–14).
Ps. 19:1 The glory of God includes his power, wisdom, and worthiness of honor and worship.
Ps. 19:3 The speech here is the speech mentioned in v. 2a. voice is not heard. All people hear the voice, but not all respond to it.
Ps. 19:4 See note on Rom. 10:18–19.
Ps. 19:7 reviving the soul. That is, giving refreshment. sure. Trustworthy. simple. See Introduction to Proverbs: Reading Proverbs.
Ps. 19:8 enlightening the eyes. For the eyes to have light or to be bright is for the person to be alert and active (compare 1 Sam. 14:27; Ezra 9:8; Ps. 13:3).
Ps. 19:9 The fear of the Lord refers to the precepts of the covenant, which show how to properly revere God (compare 34:11).
Ps. 19:11 reward. In this case, assurance and character growth.
Ps. 19:12 hidden. Just as “there is nothing hidden” from the sun’s heat (v. 6), so too the law searches all the hiding places of the soul.
Ps. 19:13 presumptuous sins. Sins committed in proud disobedience to divine commands (Deut. 17:12). Such sins eventually will have dominion over the sinner. The faithful person desires, instead, to become blameless, just as the law is blameless (see note on Ps. 18:30).
Ps. 19:14 Be acceptable comes from the language of sacrifice (as in Lev. 22:20). The singer is asking that his song be seen as a suitable act of worship before God, like a sacrifice.
