Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 19:14

Theological / Devotional

Be acceptable. The psalm closes with a prayer that at once asks acceptance of the words and the thoughts that the psalmist has uttered, and constitutes his general petition for purity of word and thought in the experiences of every day. In the general aspect, the prayer is universal and as such is a model for all men.

Strength. Literally, “rock.” See on Ps. 18:1.

Redeemer. Heb. go’el, “deliver” (see on Ruth 2:20). God is my Redeemer, delivering me from the power and guilt of sin (see Ps. 78:35; Isa. 14; 41:14; 43; etc.).
