Psalm 19:7-11

Psalm 19: 7 - 11 The Word of God In verses 1 - -6, we have seen how David writes about God's creation: the heavens, the firmament, and the sun. Now, he turns his attention to the word of God. Two well-respected Christian commentators, Matthew Henry and Warren Wiersbe, both put it this way: God's glory and goodness appears in the works of creation; but it appears much more in divine revelation. In Psalm 19, David sets out six truths about God's Word. Let's look at them: 1. The law of the Lord is __________, converting the soul.
