Psalms 19:6

6 The sun rises at one end of the sky and follows its path to the other end. Nothing hides from its heat.

Psalms 19:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 19:6

His going forth is from the end of the heaven
From the east, where it rises:

and his circuit to the ends of it;
to the west, where it sets; which is expressive of the large compass the Gospel administration took in the times of the apostles; whereby the grace of God appeared to all men, shone out in a very illustrious manner, and Christ became, what the sun is to the earth, the light of the world;

and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof;
though things may be hid from the light of it, yet not from its heat, so forcible and penetrating it is Christ, in the administration of the Gospel to all to whom it comes with power, not only enlightens their minds, but quickens their souls, warms their hearts, causes them to burn within them, arises with healing in his wings upon them, and makes his Gospel the savour of life unto life unto them. The psalmist goes on to say more and excellent things of the Gospel, its nature and usefulness.

Psalms 19:6 In-Context

4 But their message goes out through all the world; their words go everywhere on earth. The sky is like a home for the sun.
5 The sun comes out like a bridegroom from his bedroom. It rejoices like an athlete eager to run a race.
6 The sun rises at one end of the sky and follows its path to the other end. Nothing hides from its heat.
7 The teachings of the Lord are perfect; they give new strength. The rules of the Lord can be trusted; they make plain people wise.
8 The orders of the Lord are right; they make people happy. The commands of the Lord are pure; they light up the way.
