His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
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
"His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it." He bears his light to the boundaries of the solar heavens, traversing the zodiac with steady motion, denying his light to none who dwell within his range. "And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof." Above, beneath, around, the heat of the sun exercises an influence.
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.
