Context of Psalms 19:3

1The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky displays what his hands have made. 2One day tells a story to the next. One night shares knowledge with the next without talking, without words, without their voices being heard. 4⌞Yet,⌟ their sound has gone out into the entire world, their message to the ends of the earth. He has set up a tent in the heavens for the sun, 5which comes out of its chamber like a bridegroom. Like a champion, it is eager to run its course.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard - Margin, Without these their voice is heard. Hebrew, “without their voice heard.” The idea in the margin, which is adopted by Prof. Alexander, is, that when the heavens give expression to the majesty and glory of God, it is not by words - by the use of language such as is employed among men.

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
