Psalms 19:4
2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard,
their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course,
6 it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
