Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:7

The law of the Lord - And here are two books of Divine Revelation: The visible Heavens, and the works of creation in general. The Bible, or Divinely inspired writings contained in the Old and New Testaments. These may all be called the Law of the Lord; תורה torah , from ירה yarah , to instruct, direct, put straight, guide. It is God's system of instruction, by which men are taught the knowledge of God and themselves, directed how to walk so as to please God, redeemed from... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:8

The statutes of the Lord - פקודים pikkudim , from פקד pakad , he visited, cared, took notice of, appointed to a charge. The appointments, or charge delivered by God to man for his regard and observance. Are right - ישרים yesharim , from ישר yashar , to make straight, smooth, right, upright, opposed to crookedness in mind or conduct; showing what the man should be, both within and without. This is Their character. Rejoicing the heart - As they show a man what he is to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:9

The fear of the Lord - יראה yirah , from ירא yara , to fear, to venerate; often put for the whole of Divine worship. The reverence we owe to the Supreme Being. Is clean - טהורה tehorah , from טהר tahar , to be pure, clean; not differing much from ברה barah , (see above), to be clean and bright as the heavens; as purified Silver. Its object is to purge away all defilement, to make a spotless character. Enduring for ever - לעד עומדת omedeth laad , standing up to... 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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:12

Who can understand his errors? - It is not possible, without much of the Divine light, to understand all our deviations from, not only the letter, but the spirituality, of the Divine law. Frequent self-examination, and walking in the light, are essentially necessary to the requisite degree of spiritual perfection. Cleanse thou me from secret faults - From those which I have committed, and have forgotten; from those for which I have not repented; from those which have been committed in my... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:13

From presumptuous sins - Sins committed not through frailty or surprise, but those which are the offspring of thought, purpose, and deliberation. Sins against judgment, light, and conscience. The words might be translated, Preserve thy servant also from the proud; from tyrannical governors, i.e., from evil spirits - Bishop Horsley. So most of the versions understand the place. Let them not have dominion over me - Let me never be brought into a habit of sinning. He who sins presumptuously... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:14

Let the words of my mouth - He has prayed against practical sin, the sins of the body; now, against the sins of the mouth and of the heart. Let my mouth speak nothing but what is true, kind, and profitable; and my heart meditate nothing but what is holy, pure, and chaste. Acceptable in thy sight - Like a sacrifice without spot or blemish, offered up with a perfect heart to God. O Lord, my strength - צורי tsuri , "my fountain, my origin." My redeemer - גאלי goali , my... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:1

Verse 1 1.The heavens declare the glory of God. (444) I have already said, that this psalm consists of two parts, in the first of which David celebrates the glory of God as manifested in his works; and, in the other, exalts and magnifies the knowledge of God which shines forth more clearly in his word. He only makes mention of the heavens; but, under this part of creation, which is the noblest, and the excellency of which is more conspicuous, he doubtless includes by synecdoche the whole fabric... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:2

Verse 2 2.Day unto day uttereth speech. Philosophers, who have more penetration into those matters than others, understand how the stars are arranged in such beautiful order, that notwithstanding their immense number there is no confusion; but to the ignorant and unlettered, the continual succession of days is a more undoubted proof of the providence of God. David, therefore, having spoken of the heavens, does not here descend from them to other parts of the world; but, from an effect more... read more
