and see good days

and their lips from deceitful speech.

they must seek peace and pursue it.

Declare the Glory of God

1 The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.

whose voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,

~ Psalm 19:1-4 (ESV)
