Psalms 19:1-6

1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. The heavens [are] recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse [is] declaring.

2 Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.

3 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.

4 Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,

5 And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.

6 From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And his revolution [is] unto their ends, And nothing is hid from 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.
