The Heavens Declare the Glory of God
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 Without speech or language,
without a sound to be heard,19:3 Or There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard
4 their voice19:4 LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate; Hebrew their measuring line has gone out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.19:4 Cited in Romans 10:18
In the heavens He has pitched
a tent for the sun.
5 Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course,
6 it rises at one end of the heavens
and runs its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
7 The Law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right,
bringing joy to the heart;
the commandments of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
