Context of Psalms 19:5

3There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard. 4Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun, And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race. 6His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. 7The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;

Commentaries on Psalms 19:5

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Which is as a bridegroom, etc. - This is a reference to the rising of the sun, as the following verse is to the setting. He makes his appearance above the horizon with splendor and majesty; every creature seems to rejoice at his approach; and during the whole of his course, through his whole circuit, his apparent revolution from east to west, and from one tropic to the same again, no part of the earth is deprived of its proper proportion of light and…Read the comment

• 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
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 5-65-6.
