Introduction
The heavens and their host proclaim the majesty of God, Psalm 19:1-6 ; the excellence and perfection of the Divine law, Psalm 19:7-10 ; its usefulness, Psalm 19:11 . The psalmist prays for pardon and preservation from sin, Psalm 19:12 , Psalm 19:13 ; and thy his Words and thoughts may be holy, Psalm 19:14 .
The title of this Psalm has nothing particular in it; but it is not very clear that it was written by David, to whom it is attributed; though some think that he composed it in the wilderness, while persecuted by Saul. For this opinion, however, there is no solid ground. There is no note in the Psalm itself to lead us to know when, where, or by whom it was written. It is a highly finished and beautiful ode.
