Psalms 19

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 19 of 150

1 To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens are recounting the glory of God, and the expanse is declaring His handiwork.

2 Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.

3 There is no speech, nor are there words where their voice is not heard.
