3-4 Their words aren’t heard,
    their voices aren’t recorded,
But their silence fills the earth:
    unspoken truth is spoken everywhere.

4-5 God makes a huge dome
    for the sun—a superdome!
The morning sun’s a new husband
    leaping from his honeymoon bed,
The daybreaking sun an athlete
    racing to the tape.

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

Yet their voice[a] goes out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.(A)
In the heavens God has pitched a tent(B) for the sun.(C)
    It is like a bridegroom(D) coming out of his chamber,(E)
    like a champion(F) rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens(G)
    and makes its circuit to the other;(H)
    nothing is deprived of its warmth.
