F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 19:1-14

the Works and the Word of God Psalms 19:1-14 This is the “Psalm of the Two Books”-Nature and Scripture. If Psalms 8:1-9 were written at night, Psalms 19:1-14 was surely written by day. In Psalms 19:1 , God is called El, “strong;” in Psalms 19:7-9 ; Psalms 19:14 , the Hebrew Jehovah is translated “Lord,” as if His glory as Creator is the stepping-stone to loftier conceptions of the Redeemer. Nature’s silence! No speech nor language! Psalms 19:3 . What a picture of the sacred stillness of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 19:1-14

The burden of this psalm is the twofold revelation of Jehovah. He is revealed in Nature and in law. Yet in Nature Jehovah is revealed as God and not by those especial qualities suggested by the great name Jehovah. Moreover, it is in the law that God is revealed as Jehovah rather than by the facts of His wonder-working power. This differentiation is justified by the names as used. In the first six verses, which deal with the Nature revelation, the name 'God" appears once and "Jehovah" not at... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:1-6

God Speaks Through Nature (Psalms 19:1-6 ). ‘The heavens declare the glory of God,’ And the firmament reveals his handiwork. Day to day utters speech, And night to night shows knowledge.’ The psalmist tells us that as we behold the glory of the heavens, the sun, the moon and the stars, and the wonder of the expanse above, with its splendid panoply of glistening blue, they declare to us God’s glory. Their beauty, splendour and vastness reveal something of what He is. Their very construction... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 19:1-14

XIX. A. Psalms 19:1-Joshua : . The Revelation of God in Nature.— A fragment of a longer poem. Day and night are pictured as living beings who hand on the tradition of God’ s creative act from age to age (see Job 3:3-2 Samuel : *). Psalms 19:3 is a prosaic gloss to guard against any idea that the heavenly bodies speak in the literal sense. Psalms 19:4 . for “ line” read “ voice.”— In them: i.e. “ in the heavens,” but the text is probably corrupt. XIX. B. Psalms 19:7-1 Chronicles : . An... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 19:2

Day unto day; or rather, after (as the Hebrew lamed oft signifies, as Exodus 16:1; Exodus 29:38; 2 Chronicles 30:21; Psalms 96:2) day; for the day doth not utter this to the day, but to us upon the day. The sense is either, 1. That orderly, and constant, and useful succession of days and nights one after another declare this. But of the course of the sun, the effect whereof this succession is, he speaks Psalms 19:5. Or rather, 2. Every day and night renews or repeats these documents and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 19:1-14

INTRODUCTION“This psalm instructs its readers in the glory and goodness of God; first, by directing their contemplation to the structure of the heavens, to the course of the sun, and to the kindly influences of its light and heat upon the earth; secondly, by inviting their attention to the revealed law, which is more especially adapted to impress them with a sense of God’s superintending care, and to increase their understanding and knowledge of the Divine power and will. The psalm, therefore,... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 19:1-6

Psalms 19:1-6 Part First. The praise of the Divine glory in the natural world of creation is first general (vers. 1-4) and then particular (vers. 4-6). I. The whole visible expanse of sky is the theme or occasion of praise. Its teaching or testimony is (1) constant and continuous, (2) independent of language, and (3) universal. II. The commission given generally to the heavens to declare God's glory and to the firmament to show His handiwork is centred in the particular ascendency and... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 19:1-14

Psalms 19:1-14 Chapter 19 is one of the beautiful favorite psalms where David does speak about how God does reveal Himself to man in nature.The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard ( Psalms 19:1-3 ).God is speaking to you every day, every night, through the world, the universe that He has created. The heavens are declaring... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 19:1-14

Psalms 19:4 . Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. The LXX, φθογγος , phthoggos. Vulgate, sonus, their sound; the music of their voice. The elegant Tertullian, in his apology for the christian religion, applies the same idea to the spread of the gospel. After stating to the emperor that their cities, their camps and castles, were full of christians, he asks, “In whom have all the nations of the earth believed, except in Christ? Not... read more
