Psalm 19:5 - Additional Comments

One of the Doonesbury cartoon strips showed a guy who had just moved to California and was trying to learn mellow talk. So he read a few lines of poetry: "My heart can scarce contain the joy that cascades from the silver crescent cradling the stars." And the mellow talk translator said, "O, that would come out something like, 'O, wow, look at the moon!'" The human heart will not be satisfied with mellow talk. Verses 4-6 tell us "O, wow, look at the sun!" but in a way that glorifies God and lifts our spirits.
Note that these words are not really to inform us, but more to delight us. So the best thing for us to do is not necessarily study it, but to just enjoy God's poetry.
