19:12-13 David's rhetorical question expresses the impossibility of knowing if or when we violate God's will without the light that His Word provides. It can bring to light faults hidden otherwise and can warn us of what displeases God so we can avoid these offenses. David asked God to use His Word to bring these sins to his attention so they would not dominate him. This would result in his being blameless in God's sight and free from the huge mass of sin that would be his without the revelation of Scripture.
19:14 In closing this psalm, David prayed that his words and thoughts would please God. In view of the context this takes place as we allow the Word of God of affect our lives. David viewed his words and thoughts as sacrifices to God (cf. Heb. 13:15). This is the implication of "acceptable"or "pleasing."As he closed this psalm he evidently regarded God not as his Judge but as the foundation of his life and the One who had purchased him for a special purpose.
God has revealed Himself in nature and in Scripture. This revelation should move us to bow in humble adoration and willing obedience before our creator.59
