Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward.
"Moreover by them is thy servant warned." We are warned by the Word both of our duty, our danger, and our remedy. On the sea of life there would be many more wrecks, if it were not for the divine storm-signals, which give to the watchful a timely warning. The Bible should be our Mentor, our Monitor, our Memento Mori, our Remembrancer, and the Keeper of our Conscience.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping of them [there is] great reward. (k) For God accepts our endeavour though it is far from perfect.
The heavens declare God's glory, but Scripture does far more: it recovers fallen man. Creation would have sufficed if Adam had not sinned, but now divine revelation must do what the works of God alone cannot. The word has its power and excellence from the Lawmaker Himself, and nothing can be added to it or taken away.
