The Heavens Declare His Righteousness - The People See His Glory

And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.

By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,

and by the breath of His mouth all their host.

My hand laid the foundation of the earth,

and My right hand spread out the heavens;

when I call to them,

they stand forth together.

He determines the number of the stars;

He gives to all of them their names.

He who made the Pleiades and Orion…

the LORD is his name;

The heavens declare the glory of God,

and the sky above proclaims His handiwork.

Day to day pours out speech,

and night to night reveals knowledge.

When I look at your heavens, the work of Your fingers,

the moon and the stars, which You have set in place,

what is man that You are mindful of him,

and the son of man that You care for him?

The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the people see His glory.

But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You.

The heavens, without human life or voice, unceasingly praise and glorify Christ. And is it not strange that we, who were crowned with glory and honor so that we might unceasingly worship Him with our lives and voices in a way even greater than heavens, are the ones who sin against Him so often?
