Today's reading seems to be a repeat of yesterday's as well as a reiteration of what Moses had to do with the Ten Commandments. It also serves as another reminder that they need to remain steadfast in their faith and trust in God, not to let themselves be deceived and led astray, and that they needed to make sure to teach their children all of these rules and statutes and commandments.
Today's psalm is celebrating all that the Lord has provided and all of the beauty in the world. It is another praise to him for all he does.

This appears to be a continued reminder from Moses of what God has done for the people up to know and that they need to continue to praise God and follow his commands in order to prosper.
A couple of things stand out in this psalm. It talks of nature and how God takes care of the animals and the earth. And then at the end it says "My my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the Lord. But may sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more". I think at times we all pray this way. That the wicked will be swiftly and harshly dealt with. I quite enjoyed this psalm with all the nature references and reminders of that God provides for all his creatures.
