Psalm 19:6

His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.

4Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
6His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
8The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
