Psalms 19:8 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The statutes of the Lord Another word signifying the same thing with law and testimonies, are right Both in themselves, and in their effect, as guiding men in the ready way to eternal happiness. Rejoicing the heart By the discoveries of God's love to sinful men, in offers and promises of mercy. The commandment of the Lord All his commands; is pure Without the least mixture of error. Enlightening the eyes Of the mind, with a complete manifestation of God's will and man's duty; both which the works of nature and all the writings of men discover but darkly and imperfectly.

Psalms 19:8

8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
