I can't pass up one of my favorites psalms, Psalm 19. The psalm has two parts. The 1st part speaks of general revelation available to all - God reveals Himself to ALL in nature. Paul says in Romans 1 that men must suppress the knowledge of God revealed in nature. By just looking around, ALL should know that God exists. However, this is not saving knowledge.
The 2nd part of the psalm is about Special Revelation - God revealed more fully in His Word. This revelation is saving knowledge. The psalmist praises the beauty of God's Word.
The psalm ends with the psalmist asking God to search him and for the Word to purify him.
