Psalm 19:1-4a
“The heavens declare the glory of God. The firmament shows his handiwork. Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world.”
