Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

(Domine, salvum fac regem, and exaudi we in day which invocaverimus you(sg).] )
Ps 19 God’s wisdom is manifest in heaven (19:1-4), in nature (19:4-6), in his instruction (19:7-11), and in the life of the psalmist (19:12-14). Like Ps 8, this hymn uses creation to motivate reflection—it is a peaceful oasis after the drama of the lament and victory psalms. The psalm begins with creation as a source of wisdom, then moves to God’s word as the perfect source of wisdom, and ends with the human need for redemption.
