Psalm 19

God’s Glory in Creation and the Law

To the leader. A Psalm of David.

The heavens are telling the glory of God,
    and the firmament[a] proclaims his handiwork.(A)
Day to day pours forth speech,
    and night to night declares knowledge.(B)
There is no speech, nor are there words;
    their voice is not heard;
yet their voice[b] goes out through all the earth
    and their words to the end of the world.

In the heavens[c] he has set a tent for the sun,(C)

The shades below tremble,
    the waters and their inhabitants.
Sheol is naked before God,
    and Abaddon has no covering.(A)
He stretches out Zaphon[a] over the void
    and hangs the earth upon nothing.(B)
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
    and the cloud is not torn open by them.(C)
He covers the face of the full moon
    and spreads over it his cloud.(D)
10 He has described a circle on the face of the waters,
    at the boundary between light and darkness.(E)
11 The pillars of heaven tremble
    and are astounded at his rebuke.
12 By his power he stilled the Sea;
    by his understanding he struck down Rahab.(F)
13 By his wind the heavens were made fair;
    his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.(G)
14 These are indeed but the outskirts of his ways,
    and how small a whisper do we hear of him!
    But the thunder of his power who can understand?”(H)

    he has counsel and understanding.(A)
14 If he tears down, no one can rebuild;
    if he shuts someone in, no one can open up.(B)
