Psalm 19

WEEK 23                                           Psalm 19  

WEDNESDAY  Reflections

Paul says in Romans 1:18-21 “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:   Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened” (KJV).

The psalmist said it first here thought that the very creation declares there is a God who is there to be found. The Psalmist doesn’t stop with creation. He goes on and says that God’s law (His word) is perfect. Yes, creation tells us there is a God but it is His Word, His Law that tells us how we are to come to him and how we need to live.

Psa 19:1-14

(1)  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

(2)  Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

(3)  There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

(4)  Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

(5)  Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

(6)  His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

(7)  The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

(8)  The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

(9)  The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

(10)  More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

(11)  Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

(12)  Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

(13)  Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

(14)  Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
