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 sound 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, attributed to David, opens by celebrating how the natural world around us reveals something profound about its Creator. It transitions from this 'book of nature' to the 'book of law,' suggesting different ways to encounter the divine.
