This Psalm consists of two distinct parts. The first part celebrates the revelation of the Power and Majesty of God in Nature, the universal and unceasing testimony of the heavens to their Creator (v. 1~6). The second part celebrates the moral beauty and beneficent power of The LORD's 'Law' in its manifold elements and aspects (v. 7~11); and the Psalmist, viewing his own life in the sight of this holy Law, concludes with a prayer for pardon, preservation, and acceptance (v. 12-14).
Now listen to the psalmist, "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer." Who was David's strength? Christ! Who was his redeemer? Christ. Christ is also our strength and our redeemer. He becomes that through the grace of God. What a wonderful psalm this is!
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
