“The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.”
Psalm 19:1-4

By day, the skies and the heavens illuminate the wonders of God’s creation. By night, the proclamation continues, telling of the majesties of God’s handiwork. They speak constantly; there is no spot on earth where their voice is not heard: incessant praise and adoration for God, His majesty and His glory.

Jesus said that if men kept quiet, if they withhold or repress their praise for God, the rocks will cry out and do it for them.
