Context of Psalms 19:6

4Their message has gone out to the whole earth, and their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun. 5It is like a bridegroom coming from his home; it rejoices like an athlete running a course. It rises from one end of the heavens and circles to their other end; nothing is hidden from its heat. 7The instruction of the Lord is perfect, renewing one’s life; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise. 8The precepts of the Lord are right, making the heart glad; the command of the Lord is radiant, making the eyes light up.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-14God's wisdom is clearly shown in many places: It appears in the heavens (Psalm 19:1–4), in nature (Psalm 19:4–6), in his teachings (Psalm 19:7–11), and in the life of the psalmist (Psalm 19:12–14) Like Psalm 8, this hymn uses creation to lead people to reflect on God.

It then moves to God’s word as the perfect source…Read the comment
