Psalms 19:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

As a bridegroom; gloriously adorned with light as with a beautiful garment, and smiling upon the lower world with a pleasant countenance. Coming out of his chamber; in which he is poetically supposed to have rested all night, and thence to break forth as it were on a sudden, as both sacred and profane poets represent the matter. As a strong man; who being conscious and confident of his own strength, and promising to himself victory and the glory which attends it, sets upon his work with great pleasure.

Psalms 19:5

5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
