Commentaries on Psalms 19:2

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2Day unto day uttereth speech - Each day is represented as teaching another relative to some new excellence discovered in these manifold works of God. The nights also, by the same figure, are represented as giving information to each other of the increase of knowledge already gained.

• 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). They show God's faithfulness, righteousness (Psalms 36:5; 50:6; 57:10; 85:11; 89:2, 5; 97:6; 108:4), and wisdom…Read the comment
