Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
David sets before us two mirrors of God's glory: first the heavens themselves with their exquisite order, then the Law in which God made Himself known to His chosen people. From this he moves to praise the Law at length before closing with prayer.

Commenting on Psalm 19:1-14
"Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world." Although the heavenly bodies move in solemn silence, yet in reason's ear they utter precious teachings. They give forth no literal words, but yet their instruction is clear enough to be so described.
The heavens confute atheists who see the effect yet deny the cause, and confute idolaters who ascribe to the lights themselves the glory that those very lights direct us to give to God alone. The creatures declare His glory by showing they must have an eternal, infinitely wise Creator.
