How preachers through history handled this text
16 public-domain excerpts on Psalm 19, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“God's word warns the wicked not to go on in his wicked way, and warns the righteous not to turn from his good way. There is a reward, not only after keeping, but in keeping God's commandments. Religion makes our comforts sweet, and our crosses easy, life truly valuable, and death itself truly desirable. David not only desired to be pardoned and cleansed from the sins he had discovered and confessed, but from those he had forgotten or overlooked. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Psalm 19:11–30 (Public Domain)
