The Witness of Creation and Scripture

1 For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.
The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky(a) proclaims the work of His hands.(A)
2
Day after day they pour out speech;
night after night they communicate knowledge.(b)
3
There is no speech; there are no words;
their voice is not heard.
4
Their message(c) has gone out to all the earth,
and their words to the ends of the world.(B)


In the heavens(d) He has pitched a tent for the sun.(C)
5
It is like a groom coming from the(e) bridal chamber;
it rejoices like an athlete running a course.
6
It rises from one end of the heavens
and circles(f) to their other end;(D)
nothing is hidden from its heat.
