Psalm 19:2-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
I
2 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the firmament proclaims the works of his hands.(A)
3 Day unto day pours forth speech;
night unto night whispers knowledge.
4 [a]There is no speech, no words;
their voice is not heard;
5 A report goes forth through all the earth,
their messages, to the ends of the world.
He has pitched in them a tent for the sun;[b]
6 it comes forth like a bridegroom from his canopy,
and like a hero joyfully runs its course.
7 From one end of the heavens it comes forth;
its course runs through to the other;
nothing escapes its heat.
Footnotes
- 19:4 No speech, no words: the regular functioning of the heavens and the alternation of day and night inform human beings without words of the creator’s power and wisdom.
- 19:5 The sun: in other religious literature the sun is a judge and lawgiver since it sees all in its daily course; Ps 19:5b–7 form a transition to the law in Ps 19:8–11. The six synonyms for God’s revelation (Ps 19:8–11) are applied to the sun in comparable literature.

Psalm 19:2-7
New International Version
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.(A)
3 They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
4 Yet their voice[a] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.(B)
In the heavens God has pitched a tent(C) for the sun.(D)
5 It is like a bridegroom(E) coming out of his chamber,(F)
like a champion(G) rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens(H)
and makes its circuit to the other;(I)
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
