Context of Psalms 19:2

1The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. 3They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. 4Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2Day unto day - One day to another; or, each successive day.

The heavens remain unaffected by human failures and rebellions (see Psalm 2:1–4).
