Psalm 19:1-6

The Law of the Lord Is Perfect

1 The a heavens declare the glory of God;
And the b firmament 1 shows 2 His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
4 c Their 3 line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has set a 4 tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
d And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
6 Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
