Context of Psalms 19:6

4But their message goes round all the earth. All the world can understand what they say. God has made a home for the sun in the sky. 5Each morning, the sun comes out, like a happy man who has just married. It comes out, like a strong man who wants to run a race. The sun rises at one end of the heavens. It travels in a big circle to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat. 7The law of the Lord is perfect. It makes us strong again. We can trust what the Lord teaches us. He helps ordinary people to be wise. 8The Lord's rules are always right. If we obey them, they make us really happy. The Lord's commands are completely good. They show us how to live in a good way.

And his circuit - The word used here - תקופה teqûphâh - means properly a coming about, or a return, as of the seasons, or of the year. It is found only…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. The sun, as the most glorious heavenly body, is specially used to illustrate the sentiment; and his vigorous, cheerful, daily, and extensive course, and his reviving heat (including light), well display the wondrous wisdom of his Maker.Read the comment
