Context of Psalms 19:5
3Day to day they speak, night to night they reveal knowledge. 4There is no speech, no words, where their voice goes unheard. Their voice has gone out to all the earth and their words to the end of the world. In the heavens He pitched a tent for the sun. 6It is like a bridegroom coming out of his bridal chamber. It is like a strong man rejoicing to run his course. 7It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other end. Nothing is hidden from its heat.
