Psalms
Psalm 19:2–6
2Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3Without speech or language,
without a sound to be heard,a
4their voiceb has gone out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.c
In the heavens He has pitched
a tent for the sun.
5Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course,
6it rises at one end of the heavens
and runs its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
