The Law of the Lord Is Perfect
1 Ps. 50:6;[Rom. 1:19,20]The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above19:1 Hebrew the expanse; compare Genesis 1:6–8 proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
4 Cited Rom. 10:18Their [Isa. 28:10] voice19:4 Or Their measuring line goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for [Eccles. 1:5]the sun,
5 [Judg. 5:31] which comes out like Joel 2:16a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them,
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
