Psalms 19:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 19:7

5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
^aAnd rejoices like a strong man to run its race.

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.

Psalm 19:7-11

Interestingly, in the article appearing in Torah.org, A Slice of Time with Honey on the Side, there is a custom in the Jewish community of dipping an apple in honey on Rosh Hashana, alluding to a desire to renew one's understanding of Torah, but on an even deeper level.

Psalm 19:7-11 presents the Word of God as living, luminous, and life-giving, accomplishing what human wisdom cannot accomplish, that is, transformation from within. Each separate description, law, testimony, precept, commandment, fear, and rules, focuses upon a different facet of God's revelation, yet all amazingly converge in the profound truth that Almighty God's Word is perfectly sufficient and supremely satisfying. We see in this psalm a foreshadowing of Christ Himself, the Word made flesh, and through whom our soul is truly revived and rehabilitated.
