Context of Psalms 19:4

2Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. 3Without 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. 5Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course, 6it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4Their line - That is, of the heavens. The word used here - קו qav - means properly a cord, or line: (a) a measuring line, Ezekiel 47:3; Job 38:5; Isaiah 44:13; and then (b) a cord or string as of a lyre or other instrument of music; and hence, a sound.

Paul applied this text to condemn Israel for its lack of receptivity to Jesus Christ (Romans 10:18). The sun is part of God’s creation, but it is not a god, as people of other nations in the ancient Near East commonly believed.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 44. Their line--or, "instruction"--the influence exerted by their tacit display of God's perfections. Paul (Ro 10:18), quoting from the Septuagint, uses "sound," which gives the same sense.Read the comment
