The self-revelation of God. C.S. Lewis says that Psalm 19 is "the greatest poem in the Psalter and one of the greatest lyrics in the world." It contains the clearest summary of the doctrine of revelation in the OT, namely that God has made himself known to all people as:
- Creator (1-6): General revelation.
- Lawgiver (7-10): Special revelation.
- Redeemer (11-14): Personal revelation.
