A Psalm of David. A great creation Psalm.
v. 1-6 Creation (Elohim)
v. 7-11 Law (Jehovah)
v. 12-14 Grace (Christ)
David praises God for his revelation in the heavens. “The heavens declare the glory of God.” Amen. Lord, thank you for revealing yourself in creation. Day to day (the sky) pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge (ie. it reveals his greatness). From the beginning creation has been a witness of God to all men. — For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they (men) are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)
7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple;
The law preserves the life of the one who studies it by making known God’s will.
The law is (v 7-9):
- perfect
- sure
- right
- pure
- clean
- true
- righteous
12 Who can discern his errors?
Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
Who can understand his errors? No one. Only by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ are we saved (Eph. 2:8).
