Psalm 19:1-4
“The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech nor language. Their voice is not heard. Their message goes out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,”
This psalm, traditionally attributed to King David, celebrates God's revelation in two ways: through the natural world (the 'heavens') and through God's law (the 'Torah' or instruction, which follows these verses). It was written for a community of worshippers in ancient Israel, likely for temple use, reflecting on how the divine communicates with humanity.
What does it mean to listen for a 'voice' that has no words, yet speaks through the universe?
