Context of Psalms 19:3

1The heavens tell of the glory of God; And their expanse declares the work of His hands. 2Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. 4Their line has gone out into all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun, 5Which is like a groom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices like a strong person to run his 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.

Paul applied this text to condemn Israel for its lack of receptivity to Jesus Christ (Romans 10:18).

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 33. Though there is no articulate speech or words, yet without these their voice is heard (compare Margin).Read the comment
