Psalms 19:1-6

1 The heavens are sounding the glory of God; the arch of the sky makes clear the work of his hands.

2 Day after day it sends out its word, and night after night it gives knowledge.

3 There are no words or language; their voice makes no sound.

4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he put a tent for the sun,

5 Who is like a newly married man coming from his bride-tent, and is glad like a strong runner starting on his way.

6 His going out is from the end of the heaven, and his circle to the ends of it; there is nothing which is not open to his heat.

Psalms 19:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. This psalm was penned by David, and inscribed to the chief musician, as others, to be used in public service, and was designed for Gospel times, as the subject of it shows; which is first, not an account of the light of nature, and then of the law of Moses, but of the Gospel of Christ; and especially as ministered in the times of the apostles, as a citation out of it in Romans 10:18, makes clear.
