Psalm 18(19):1-4
“The heavens proclaim the glory of God
and the firmament shows forth the work of his hands.
Day unto day takes up the story,
and night unto night makes known the message.
No speech, no word, no voice is heard,
yet their span extends through all the earth,
their message to the utmost bounds of the world.”
