Psalm 19:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 It rises from one end of the heavens,
and its circuit is completed at the other;
nothing can be hidden from its heat.
8 The law of the Lord is perfect,
affording refreshment to the soul.
The decree of the Lord is worthy of trust,
imparting wisdom to the simple.[a]
9 The precepts of the Lord are right,
causing the heart[b] to rejoice.
The commands of the Lord are clear,
giving light to the eyes.
Footnotes
- Psalm 19:8 The simple: those who are inexperienced and hence childlike (see Ps 119:98-100; Prov 1:4); the New Testament shows that heavenly wisdom is a gift to “children,” hidden from the worldly-wise (see Lk 10:21; 1 Cor 1:18ff; 2:8-10; 2 Tim 3:15).
- Psalm 19:9 Heart: see note on Ps 4:8.
