Psalm 19:4-6
The Message
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.
6 That’s how God’s Word vaults across the skies
from sunrise to sunset,
Melting ice, scorching deserts,
warming hearts to faith.
Psalm 19:4-6
New International Version
4 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)
5 It is like a bridegroom(D) coming out of his chamber,(E)
like a champion(F) rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens(G)
and makes its circuit to the other;(H)
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
