Psalm 19 is beautiful.
The Heavens declare the glory of God (Hebrew El – a generic word, much like our English usage of the word God)
Creation points to the majesty and power of the painter of everything we see, but it doesn’t tell us his character.
But the Law (v. 7–14), reveals Yahweh.
Yahweh’s law: revives the soul (v. 7), makes the simple wise (v. 8), and gives joy to the heart (v. 9).
I especially like verse 13–14:
“Keep your servant from willful sins; may they not rule over me.” and
“May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
