Psalms 19:14 - Exposition

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight . Nor let my doings only be righteous; let the door of my lips be kept, that I utter no evil word, and the recesses of my heart be purged, that I think no evil thought. O Lord, my strength ; literally, my Rock ( צוּדִי ), as in Psalms 18:1 . And my Redeemer (comp. Psalms 78:35 ; and see Genesis 48:16 ; Exodus 15:13 ; Le 25:48; Ruth 4:4 ; Job 19:25 ; Isaiah 63:9 ). As applied to God, the word "Redeemer" ( גוֹאֵל ) always means a "Deliverer" from sin, or death, or danger.
