19:1 (大衛的詩,交與伶長。)諸天述說上帝的榮耀;穹蒼傳揚他的手段。
19:2 這日到那日發出言語;這夜到那夜傳出知識。
19:3 無言無語,也無聲音可聽。
19:4 它的量帶通遍天下,它的言語傳到地極。上帝在其間為太陽安設帳幕;
19:5 太陽如同新郎出洞房,又如勇士歡然奔路。
19:6 它從天這邊出來,繞到天那邊,沒有一物被隱藏不得它的熱氣。

For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
4 Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;

In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.

大衛藉由宇宙萬象的偉大來說明上帝的權能,表示上帝是這宇宙的創造者,而不像外邦的神明,是由宇宙醞釀而成。就像華人崇拜的神明,幾乎是被造之神,而非造物之上帝!
上帝不僅是造物,更是保護管理之上帝,藉由所造的宇宙向人彰顯自己,使人認清上帝是實實在在的,正如羅馬書1章20節所說:「自從造天地以來,上帝的永能和神性是明明可知的,雖是眼不能見,但藉著所造之物就可以曉得,叫人無可推諉。」
既然如此,我們一定要將上帝該有的榮耀歸給祂,因為我們受造的目的,也就是要彰顯上帝的榮耀,尊崇造我們的主!雖然始祖犯罪,使我們與上帝遠離,但是上帝卻透過獨生愛子耶穌基督拯救我們,使我們享受永生之福!
