David wrote a psalm about things that he felt powerfully about.
Verses 1- 6: The heavens and their structure testify of the glory of God. Day and night are a good example of his majesty. There is nowhere that they don't reach, the separation between them covers the whole earth at some point. The sun is like a man who was just married, coming from his room, rejoicing and exited, about to run a race from one end of heaven to the other, with no where out of reach of his warmth.
Verses 7- 9: The law of God is perfect, and if we follow it, we will know it's true. Having a testimony of God is the one thing we can be sure of, and it makes us wise where we once were simple. The things that God says are right, and they will make us happy if we listen. His commands are unchanged by the mood and thought of man, and they make us see clearly. Having respect for God keeps us clean of guilt forever, and his Judgments are always fair.
Verses 10- 14: These things are all more valuable than any wordly thing. God, by them I'm warned of punishments, and know of the rewards of following them. No one can understand their own errors clearly, God, help me to overcome my faults. Keep me back from sins that I assume are okay, don't let my desire to do them control me. If you help me to do these things, then I'll be able to stand tall before you, and I'll be innocent of disobeying your law. Help me keep the words I say and the thoughts I have in my heart be acceptable, O Lord, you are my strength and my redeemer.

Psalms 19 is talking about the works and word of God. It is a psalm of David. Verses 1--6 talks about the revelation of God in Creation. Verses 7--14 talks about the revelation of God in the word of God.
In other words, the essential message is that CREATION and THE BIBLE reveals the existence of God AND can even tell us a thing or two about Him through what we OBSERVE and READ.

Psalm 19:1-14 (New International Version)
Psalm 19
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard. [a]
4 Their voice [b] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are sure
and altogether righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.
11 By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Everyone and everything really likes God, because he's such a great guy.
It's a pretty common theme in Psalms. Verse 15 explains why the psalmist is saying what he says, he is buttering God up for a favor.

Chapter 19
THE GLORY OF GOD'S WORKS. 19:1-6
The heavens so declare the glory of God, and proclaim his wisdom, power, and goodness, that all ungodly men are left without excuse. They speak themselves to be works of God's hands; for they must have a Creator who is eternal, infinitely wise, powerful, and good. The counter-changing of day and night is a great proof of the power of God, and calls us to observe, that, as in the kingdom of nature, so in that of providence, he forms the light, and creates the darkness, Isa 45:7, and sets the one against the other. The sun in the firmament is an emblem of the Sun of righteousness, the Bridegroom of the church, and the Light of the world, diffusing Divine light and salvation by his gospel to the nations of the earth. He delights to bless his church, which he has espoused to himself; and his course will be unwearied as that of the sun, till the whole earth is filled with his light and salvation. Let us pray for the time when he shall enlighten, cheer, and make fruitful every nation on earth, with the blessed salvation. They have no speech or language, so some read it, and yet their voice is heard. All people may hear these preachers speak in their own tongue the wonderful works of God. Let us give God the glory of all the comfort and benefit we have by the lights of heaven, still looking above and beyond them to the Sun of righteousness.
HIS HOLINESS AND GRACE AS SHOWN IN HIS WORD. 19:7-10
The Holy Scripture is of much greater benefit to us than day or night, than the air we breathe, or the light of the sun. To recover man out of his fallen state, there is need of the word of God. The word translated "law," may be rendered doctrine, and be understood as meaning all that teaches us true religion. The whole is perfect; its tendency is to convert or turn the soul from sin and the world, to God and holiness. It shows our sinfulness and misery in departing from God, and the necessity of our return to him. This testimony is sure, to be fully depended on: the ignorant and unlearned believing what God saith, become wise unto salvation. It is a sure direction in the way of duty. It is a sure fountain of living comforts, and a sure foundation of lasting hopes. The statues of the Lord are right, just as they should be; and, because they are right, they rejoice the heart. The commandments of the Lord are pure, holy, just, and good. By them we discover our need of a Saviour; and then learn how to adorn his gospel. They are the means which the Holy Spirit uses in enlightening the eyes; they bring us to a sight and sense of our sin and misery, and direct us in the way of duty. The fear of the Lord, that is, true religion and godliness, is clean, it will cleanse our way; and it endureth for ever. The ceremonial law is long since done away, but the law concerning the fear of God is ever the same. The judgments of the Lord, his precepts, are true; they are righteous, and they are so altogether; there is no unrighteousness in any of them. Gold is only for the body, and the concerns of time; but grace is for the soul, and the concerns of eternity. The word of God, received by faith, is more precious than gold; it is sweet to the soul, sweeter than honey. The pleasure of sense soon surfeit, yet never satisfy; but those of religion are substantial and satisfying; there is no danger of excess.
PRAYER FOR THE BENEFIT OF THEM. 19:11-14
God's word warns the wicked not to go on in his wicked way, and warns the righteous not to turn from his good way. There is a reward, not only after keeping, but in keeping God's commandments. Religion makes our comforts sweet, and our crosses easy, life truly valuable, and death itself truly desirable. David not only desired to be pardoned and cleansed from the sins he had discovered and confessed, but from those he had forgotten or overlooked. All discoveries of sin made to us by the law, should drive us to the throne of grace, there to pray. His dependence was the same with that of every Christian who says, Surely in the Lord Jesus have I righteousness and strength. No prayer can be acceptable before God which is not offered in the strength of our Redeemer or Divine Kinsman, through Him who took our nature upon him, that he might redeem us unto God, and restore the long-lost inheritance. May our hearts be much affected with the excellence of the word of God; and much affected with the evil of sin, and the danger we are in of it, and the danger we are in by it.

"Wow, God is so awesome. Please let me kiss your @ss!"

No thanks.
But you might try posting what it says, for those of us who don't feel like running and looking it up. Just a courtesy on your part.
