START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Psalms 19:7-11
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
THE LAW OF THE LORD IS PERFECT / PSALMS 19:7-11
THE LAW OF THE LORD IS PERFECT
These verses speak of the character, benefit and value of God’s law as revealed in His Word. The five parts of God’s Word mentioned in this psalm are:
“The ordinances,” which are laws governing social life and relationships with others that lead to justice and righteousness (Psalms 19:9).
“The law,” which is a general term for God’s revealed plans and purposes. The law is expressed through His commands and guidelines and gives direction in how to relate to Him in the right way (Psalms 19:7).
“The statutes,” which are God’s truths and decrees that express His character and purposes (1 John 5:9). Studying God’s statutes will make us wise (Psalms 19:7).
“The precepts,” which are definite rules concerning righteous living that give joy to God’s followers (Psalms 19:8).
“The commands,” which are the authoritative source of guidance for those who want to clearly see and follow God’s ways (Psalms 19:8; Acts 26:18). The proper response to God’s commands in the “fear of the LORD,” meaning an awe and reverence which causes one to obey God and avoid evil, bringing spiritual peace and freedom (Psalms 19:9).
