Psalm 19 The heavens declare the glory of God. And the sky reports the work of his hands. Day by day they pour forth speech. Night by night reveals knowledge. There is no speech. And there are no words. Their voice is not heard. Their reach(?) goes out to all the earth. And their speech to the end of the world. Torah psalm – Torah = instruction (from God) -> Bible But begins with creation!

Psalm 19 + creation Every created thing can acknowledge its creator (= God) Universe full of creatures With power + purpose No speech or words There is speech(?) that we cannot hear Or can we?
