In context

3Day to day utters speech, And night to night proclaims knowledge.

4There are no speeches or words, In which their voices are not heard.

— Psalms 18:5 —

6In the sun he has set his tabernacle; And he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: He will exult as a giant to run his course.

7His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, And his circuit to the other end of heaven: And no one shall be hidden from his heat.
