Context of Psalms 19:4

2Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun, 5And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race. 6His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4Their line - That is, of the heavens.
