Context of Psalms 19:2

1The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world. God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.

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