The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
시편 19
개요
두 부분으로 구성된 다윗의 시편이다. 전반부는 하늘이 말없이 하나님의 영광을 선포한다고 노래하고, 후반부는 완전하고 확실하고 옳고 정결하고 영원한 토라를 찬양한다. 숨은 허물과 방자함으로부터 용서해 달라는 기도로 마무리된다.
Key Verses
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
