DavidTraditionally attributed as the author of Psalm 19, David was the second king of Israel and a man after God's own heart. He is known for his deep relationship with God and his poetic contributions to the Bible. 2. Heavens and Firmament While not directly mentioned in verse 3, the context of Psalm 19 speaks of the heavens and the firmament as declaring the glory of God, setting the stage for the silent testimony described in this verse. 3. Creation The broader context of Psalm 19 highlights creation as a witness to God's glory, emphasizing the universal and silent communication of God's handiwork. Teaching Points The Silent Witness of CreationCreation communicates God's glory and majesty without the need for words. This silent testimony is universal and accessible to all, transcending language barriers. Understanding God's Communication God communicates in diverse ways, not limited to verbal or written language. Recognizing His voice in creation can deepen our appreciation for His omnipresence and creativity. The Universality of God's Message The message of God's glory is available to everyone, regardless of language or culture. This universality calls us to acknowledge and worship God as the Creator. Reflecting on God's Majesty Taking time to observe and reflect on the natural world can lead to a greater understanding of God's character and His work in our lives. Living as a Testimony Just as creation silently testifies to God's glory, our lives should also reflect His presence and truth, even without words.(3) There is no speech.--The literal rendering is Not speech, not words, their voice is not heard. Explaining this is (1) the English version (Bible and Prayer Book) and (if intelligible at all) the LXX. and Vulg.: "There is no speech nor language without their (the heavens') speech being heard (i.e., understood)." But this gives an inadmissible sense to davar, which does not mean language, but a spoken word. Besides, it was not a likely thought for the psalmist, that the Divine tradition of the heavens, while it travels over the whole earth, would be everywhere intelligible. (2) "It is not speech, it is not words whose voice is inaudible," i.e., unintelligible, but, on the contrary, it is a manifestation to all the world. But the parallelism is against this. The line "their voice is not heard" is but the rhythmic echo of there is no speech nor word." (3) We therefore keep close to the literal rendering, There is no speech, there are no (uttered) words, their voice is inaudible; understanding the poet to say, that the manifestation of the Creator's glory, which he has just imagined the heavens proclaiming, and of which each succeeding day hands on the tale, is not made in audible words. The communication of the sky is eloquent, but mute; its voice is for the heart and emotion, not the ear. So Addison-- "What though in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball, What though no real voice or sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing as they shine The hand that made us is Divine." Verse 3. - There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard; rather, there is no speech, there are no words; their voles is not heard; i.e. the speech which they utter is not common speech - it is without sound, without language; no articulate voice is to be heard.
