诗篇 19:10-11 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 19:7-10

The Word of God. This passage may be regarded as teaching three things concerning the Word of God, or the Bible. I. WHAT IT IS . Six names are used, and six different statements are made with regard to the Bible. 1 . It is "the Law of the Lord," and, as such, it is "perfect." 2 . It is "the testimony of the Lord," and, as such, it is "sure." In it God speaks with solemn earnestness and insistance, and what he says may be trusted. 3 . It is "the statutes of the Lord;"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 19:7-11

The transition from the glories of the material universe to the "law of the Lord" is abrupt and startling. Some go so far as to say that there is no connection at all between the first and second parts of the psalm. But it is the law and order that pervades the material universe which constitutes its main glory; and the analogy between God's physical laws and his moral laws is evident, and generally admitted (see the great work of Bishop Butler, part 1.). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 19:8-14

The voice of Jehovah in his Word. The Prophet Isaiah, in his forty-fifth chapter, and in the eighth and ninth verses, refers both to the work of God's hands in the world which he has created, and to the words of his lips in the promises he has made; and in both cases it is said, "not in vain" "Not in vain" is the earth formed; "not in vain" is the promise uttered. In both there is a Divine aim and purpose. That antithesis between the works and the Word of God is more ancient than Isaiah's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 19:10

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold . (For the difference between "gold" ( זהב ) and "fine gold" ( פז ), see the 'Homiletic Commentary on Job,' p. 458.) God's Law is a far greater good to man, and therefore far more to be desired, than any amount of riches; much more must it be preferable to honey and the honeycomb. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 19:11

Moreover by them is thy servant warned . This verse is a sort of connecting link between the second and the third parts of the psalm. Through its subject-matter, which is still the Law of the Lord, it belongs to the second part; but metrically, and by the introduction of the person of the psalmist ("thy servant"), it belongs to the third. David feels that to him it is the crowning excellency of the Law, that it teaches, instructs, or "warns" him. And in keeping of them there is great... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 19:11-14

Man's relation to the Divine Law. The former part of the psalm is a comparison and a contrast between God's revelation of himself in nature and in his Law. Now the psalmist passes on to consider his own relation to the Divine Law; what light it throws upon his character and circumstances, and what rewards it bestows upon those who abide in the steadfast observance of it. I. WHAT THE DIVINE LAW TAUGHT THE PSALMIST . ( Psalms 19:12 , Psalms 19:13 .) 1 . His... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 19:10

More to be desired are they than gold - That is, his law; or, as in the preceding verse, his judgments. They are more valuable than gold; they are of such a nature that the soul should more desire to be in possession of them than to be in possession of gold, and should value them more. The psalmist here and in the following verses describes his estimate of the worth of revealed truth as he perceived it. In the previous verses he had shown its value in the abstract; he here speaks of his own... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 19:11

Moreover by them is thy servant warned - The word used here - זהר zâhar - means, properly, to be bright, to shine; then, to cause to shine, to make light; and then, to admonish, to instruct, to warn. The essential idea here is, to throw light on a subject, so as to show it clearly; that is, to make the duty plain, and the consequences plain. Compare Leviticus 15:31; Ezekiel 3:18; Ezekiel 33:7. The word is rendered admonished in Ecclesiastes 4:13; Ecclesiastes 12:12; warn, and warned, in Psalms... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 19:10

Psalms 19:10. More to be desired are they than gold Than the wealth of this world, although so generally preferred before them; yea, than much fine gold Than gold of the best quality, and in the greatest quantity; than all the treasures and precious things which are brought from other countries. Sweeter also Namely, to the soul of the pious believer; than honey and the honeycomb Than the sweetest thing we know of is to the bodily taste: yielding more true, and noble, and lasting... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 19:11

Psalms 19:11. By them is thy servant warned I say nothing of thy law but what I have proved to be true by experience. The several parts of it have been and still are my great instructers, and the only source of all the knowledge to which thy servant hath attained. I am daily taught and admonished by them. They show me my duty in all conditions, and warn me of the consequences of not complying with it; so that by them I am preserved from falling into sin and danger. In keeping of them there... read more
