Psalms 19:9-10

9 the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules^[a] of the LORD are ¹true, and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than ²gold, even much ³fine gold; ⁴sweeter also than honey and drippings of ⁵the honeycomb.

Psalms 19:9-10 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. This psalm was penned by David, and inscribed to the chief musician, as others, to be used in public service, and was designed for Gospel times, as the subject of it shows; which is first, not an account of the light of nature, and then of the law of Moses, but of the Gospel of Christ; and especially as ministered in the times of the apostles, as a citation out of it in Romans 10:18, makes clear.
