诗篇 19:10-11 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 19:7-14

God's glory, (that is, his goodness to man) appears much in the works of creation, but much more in and by divine revelation. The holy scripture, as it is a rule both of our duty to God and of our expectation from him, is of much greater use and benefit to us than day or night, than the air we breathe in, or the light of the sun. The discoveries made of God by his works might have served if man had retained his integrity; but, to recover him out of his fallen state, another course must be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 19:10

More to be desired are they than gold ,.... This refers to all the truths in the word of God; to all the doctrines of the Gospel; which, by good men, are more desirable, and by them more prized and valued, than all worldly riches and treasure; yea, than much fine gold : more than gold, and the best of gold, and a great deal of it, than thousands of gold and silver; see Psalm 119:72 , Proverbs 8:10 ; sweeter also than honey, and the honeycomb ; or "the dropping of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 19:11

Moreover, by them is thy servant warned ,.... By whom the psalmist means himself, who was the servant of the Lord, not only in common with other saints, but as he was a king and prophet, and as such he received advantage from the word of God; all his instructions as a prophet, and all his rules of government as a king; and the whole of that wisdom, prudence, and knowledge, with which the conducted in both offices, were from the Lord by his word: and it may be applied to any servant of the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:10

More to be desired are they than gold - This is strictly true; but who believes it? By most men gold is preferred both to God and his judgments; and they will barter every heavenly portion for gold and silver! Sweeter also than honey - To those whose mental taste is rectified, who have a spiritual discernment. Honey-comb - Honey is sweet; but honey just out of the comb has a sweetness, richness and flavour, far beyond what it has after it becomes exposed to the air. Only those who... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:11

By them is thy servant warned - נזהר nizhar , from זהר zahar , to be clear, pellucid. By these laws, testimonies, etc., thy servant is fully instructed; he sees all clearly; and he discerns that in keeping of them there is great reward: every man is wise, holy, and happy, who observes them. All Christian experience confirms this truth. Reader, what says thine? read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:10

Verse 10 10.More to be desired are they than gold. The Psalmist now exalts the law of God both on account of its price and sweetness. This commendation depends on the commendations given in the preceding verses; for the many and great advantages which he has just now enumerated, ought justly to make us account heavenly truth the highest and most excellent treasure, and to despise, when compared with it, all the gold and silver of the world. Instead of the word fine gold, which the Latins have... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:11

Verse 11 11.Moreover, by them is thy servant made circumspect. These words may be extended generally to all the people of God; but they are properly to be understood of David himself, and by them he testifies that he knew well, from his own experience, all that he had stated in the preceding verses respecting the law. No man will ever speak truly and in good earnest of heavenly truth, but he who has it deeply fixed in his own heart. David therefore acknowledges, that whatever prudence he had... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 19:1-10

God's revelation of himself in nature and in his Word. In nature it is continuous. Day utters speech unto day, night unto night. It is speechless ; it has a language, but it is not articulate. It is universal. Gone out through all the world, and through all time. In his Word it his a converting power—power to make wise, to rejoice the heart and enlighten the eyes. It endures for ever; unlike the firmament, and is entirely true and righteous. I. A COMPARISON OF THESE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 19:1-14

Rhythmically, the divisions correspond to the changes in the thought. There is first a stately movement, continued for six versos, devoted to the glories of the universe; then a livelier strain in longer (mostly double ) lines, praising the Law of the Lord, and extending to five verses only; finally, a conclusion in short, broken lines, limited to three verses. The psalm is generally allowed to be David's, and is declared to be his by the title. There are no internal indications by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 19:1-14

Nature as a preacher. Mark— I. THE GRAND SUBJECT . "The glory of God." II. THE SPLENDID AUDIENCE . "All the earth." III. THE FAITHFUL DELIVERY . Marked by truth, freshness, constancy, impartiality (verses 1-4). Other preachers cannot continue by reason of death. Hence there is change. One succeeds another. But this preacher goes on without break or weariness from day to day and age to age, bearing witness for God ( Romans 1:20 ; Acts 14:17 ). IV. THE ... read more
