Summary: | Psalm 19 provides a bridge between the themes of the natural order and the Torah. Its complex metaphor about God's voice informs us of the limitations of knowledge at the boundary. It embodies our search in finding God in the language of metaphor, articulated in worship — the context for this psalm. The psalm provokes reflection on the relation between science and theology, connecting creation and wisdom, and with regard to climate change, living within the natural order. It gifts us a practical ethic of the wisdom more desirable than ‘the gold’ of economics. |
