The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; 8the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; —Psalm 19:7-8
The Bible is something and does something. Indeed, Psalm 19:1-11 indicates that written revelation does something natural revelation cannot do. The breathtaking wonders of the created order ably trumpet God’s glory to all people under the sun (vv. 1-6; cf. Romans 1:18-20). But the revelation of God’s will in Scripture singularly unveils his life-transforming, soul-satisfying counsel to his people. Nature speaks, revealing a glorious Creator (vv. 1-6); but in Scripture God himself speaks, meticulously revealing how we may flourish in our relationship with him (vv. 7-11).
