Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 19:1-14

Psalms 19:1-14Is this originally one psalm or bits of two, pieced together to suggest a comparison between the two sources of knowledge of God, which the authors did not dream of? The affirmative is strongly maintained, but, we may venture to say, not so strongly sustained. The two parts are said to differ in style, rhythm, and subject. Certainly they do, but the difference in style accounts for the difference in structure. It is not an unheard of phenomenon that cadence should change with... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 19:1-11

Psalms 19:0 Christ in Creation and in Revelation 1 In creation (Psalms 19:1-6 ) 2. In revelation (Psalms 19:7-11 ) Psalms 19:1-6 . This Psalm also bears witness to Christ as Creator and as revealing Himself through the Word. The two great books, Creation and Revelation, bear witness to Him. The Heavens which declare the glory of God were created by Him (Colossians 1:16 ; John 1:3 ). And there is a testimony to Him in creation which is continuous. “Day unto day uttereth speech and night... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 19:1-14

Psalms 18:0 A song of victory. It opens with ejaculatory expressions of triumph for deliverance. All nature is described as convulsed when the Almighty presses to the rescue. The next division is meditation on the principles involved, the whole closing with a further outburst of triumph and confidence. 2 Samuel 22:0 is a copy of this ode saying a few variations, and the student is referred to our treatment of it at that place. Psalms 19:0 God’s revelation in the world and in the Word. We have a... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 19:1-14

Psalms 19:0 [Note. This is universally regarded as one of the most profound and affecting of David's compositions. Bacon says, "The heavens declare the glory of God, but not his will." God's will can only be known by his law. A marked difference between the style of the two portions of the psalm has been pointed out. The former portion is more varied in cadence, whilst the latter is more precise and condensed, nevertheless a pervading harmony has been recognised by the severest critics. It has... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 19:2-3

In like manner, the regular succession of day and night prove no less his order and government. He maketh the outgoings of the morning and evening to praise him. Psalms 65:8 . And so universal are those teachings, that there is no nation under the sun but hath this book of God in creation opened to their view. Reader, remark by the way the perpetuity of this order and regularity, as a confirmation of God's covenant with Noah. After the deluge the Lord promised, that while the earth remained... read more

Hear thee, the Ruler; or Jesus Christ praying for his people. (Worthington) --- Tribulation. War is always such. The victors themselves suffer, and many souls perish. (Calmet) --- Name.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:1-6

1-6 The heavens so declare the glory of God, and proclaim his wisdom, power, and goodness, that all ungodly men are left without excuse. They speak themselves to be works of God's hands; for they must have a Creator who is eternal, infinitely wise, powerful, and good. The counter-changing of day and night is a great proof of the power of God, and calls us to observe, that, as in the kingdom of nature, so in that of providence, he forms the light, and creates the darkness, Isaiah 45:7, and sets... read more

A Prophecy of the Gospel.

Psalms 19:0To the Chief Musician, A Psalm of David1 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... read more
