Psalms 19:6

6 It rises at one end of the heavens. Then it moves across to the other end. Nothing can hide 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 At the same time, their voice goes out into the whole earth. Their words go out from one end of the world to the other. God has set up a tent in the heavens for the sun.
5 The sun is like a groom coming out of the room where he spent his wedding night. The sun is like a great runner who takes delight in running a race.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens. Then it moves across to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect. It gives us new strength. The laws of the LORD can be trusted. They make childish people wise.
8 The rules of the LORD are right. They give joy to our hearts. The commands of the LORD shine brightly. They give light to our minds.
