Psalms 19:8

Context

19:8 The Lord’s precepts are fair 1 

and make one joyful. 2 

The Lord’s commands 3  are pure 4 

and give insight for life. 5 

1 tn Or “just.” Perhaps the idea is that they impart a knowledge of what is just and right.

2 tn Heb “[they] make happy [the] heart.” Perhaps the point is that they bring a sense of joyful satisfaction to the one who knows and keeps them, for those who obey God’s law are richly rewarded. See v. 11b.

3 tn Heb “command.” The singular here refers to the law as a whole.

4 tn Because they reflect God’s character, his commands provide a code of moral and ethical purity.

5 tn Heb [they] enlighten [the] eyes.
