Psalm 19:1-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Psalm 19

The Witness of Creation and Scripture

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.

¹The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky^[a] proclaims the work of His hands.^(A)
²Day after day they pour out speech;
night after night they communicate knowledge.^[b]
³There is no speech; there are no words;
their voice is not heard.
⁴Their message^[c] has gone out to all the earth,
and their words to the ends of the world.^(B)

In the heavens^[d] He has pitched a tent for the sun.^(C)
⁵It is like a groom coming from the^[e] bridal chamber;
it rejoices like an athlete running a course.
⁶It rises from one end of the heavens
and circles^[f] to their other end;^(D)
nothing is hidden from its heat.

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵“Men! Why are you doing these things? We are men also, with the same nature as you, and we are proclaiming good news to you, that you should turn from these worthless things^(A) to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and everything in them.^(B)^[a] ¹⁶In past generations He allowed all the nations^(C) to go their own way, ¹⁷although He did not leave Himself without a witness,^(D) since He did what is good by giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons^(E) and satisfying your^[b] hearts with food and happiness.”
