Psalms 19:8 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Psalms 19:8

6 Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

7 ^aThe law of the Lord is perfect,¹ converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making ^bwise 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 forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than ^agold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the¹ honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors?
^aCleanse me from secret faults.

13 Keep back Your servant also from ^apresumptuous sins;
Let them not have ^bdominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of¹ great transgression.

14 ^aLet the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my¹ strength and my ^bRedeemer.

Psalms 19:7-9

The law is described by six names, epithets, and effects. It is a rule, God's testimony for the truth, His special and general prescription of duty, fear (as its cause) and judicial decision. It is distinct and certain, reliable, right, pure, holy, and true. Hence it revives those depressed by doubts, makes wise the unskilled (II Timothy 3:15), rejoices the lover of truth, strengthens the desponding (Psalms 13:4; Psalms 34:6), provides permanent principles of conduct, and by God's grace brings a rich reward.
