Commentary on Psalm 19:1-6

(Read Psalm 19:1-6)

The heavens so declare the glory of God, and proclaim his wisdom, power, and goodness, that all ungodly men are left without excuse. They speak themselves to be works of God's hands; for they must have a Creator who is eternal, infinitely wise, powerful, and good. The counter-changing of day and night is a great proof of the power of God, and calls us to observe, that, as in the kingdom of nature, so in that of providence, he forms the light, and creates the darkness, Isaiah 45:7, and sets the one against the other. The sun in the firmament is an emblem of the Sun of righteousness, the Bridegroom of the church, and the Light of the world, diffusing Divine light and salvation by his gospel to the nations of the earth. He delights to bless his church, which he has espoused to himself; and his course will be unwearied as that of the sun, till the whole earth is filled with his light and salvation. Let us pray for the time when he shall enlighten, cheer, and make fruitful every nation on earth, with the blessed salvation. They have no speech or language, so some read it, and yet their voice is heard. All people may hear these preachers speak in their own tongue the wonderful works of God. Let us give God the glory of all the comfort and benefit we have by the lights of heaven, still looking above and beyond them to the Sun of righteousness.

6 It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

Other Translations of Psalm 19:6

King James Version

6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

English Standard Version

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.

The Message

6 That's how God's Word vaults across the skies from sunrise to sunset, Melting ice, scorching deserts, warming hearts to faith.

New King James Version

6 Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

New Living Translation

6 The sun rises at one end of the heavens and follows its course to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat.
