uttereth--pours forth as a stream; a perpetual testimony. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Day unto day - One day to another; or, each successive day. The day that is passing away proclaims the lesson which it had to convey from the movements of the heavens, about God; and thus the knowledge of God is accumulating as the time moves on. Each day has its own lesson in regard to the wisdom, the power, and the goodness of God, and that lesson is conveyed from one day to another. There is a perpetual testimony thus given to the wisdom and power of the Great Creator.
Uttereth speech - The word here rendered uttereth means properly to pour forth; to pour forth copiously as a fountain. Compare Pro 18:4; Pro 1:23; Pro 15:2, Pro 15:28. Hence, the word means to utter; to declare. The word "speech" means properly "a word;" and then, "a lesson;" or "that which speech conveys." The idea is, that the successive days thus impart instruction, or convey lessons about God. The day does this by the returning light, and by the steady and sublime movement of the sun in the heavens, and by all the disclosures which are made by the light of the sun in his journeyings.
And night unto night showeth knowledge - Knowledge respecting God. Each successive night does this. It is done by the stars in their courses; in their order; their numbers; their ranks; their changes of position; their rising and their setting. There are as many lessons conveyed to man about the greatness and majesty of God by the silent movements of each night as there are by the light of the successive days - just as there may be as many lessons conveyed to the soul about God in the dark night of affliction and adversity, as there are when the sun of prosperity shines upon us. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Day - Every day and night repeats these demonstrations of God's glory. Uttereth - Or, poureth forth, constantly and abundantly, as a fountain doth water; So this Hebrew word signifies. Knowledge - Gives us a clear knowledge or discovery of God their author. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Day unto day uttereth speech - Each day is represented as teaching another relative to some new excellence discovered in these manifold works of God. The nights also, by the same figure, are represented as giving information to each other of the increase of knowledge already gained.
"The labors of these our instructers know no intermission; but they continue incessantly to lecture us in the science of Divine wisdom. There is one glory of the sun, which shines forth by day; and there are other glories of the moon and of the stars, which become visible by night. And because day and night interchangeably divide the world between them, they are therefore represented as transmitting, in succession, each to other, the task enjoined them, like the two parts of a choir, chanting forth alternately the praises ot God." - Bisbop Horne. |
28 The heart [03820] of the righteous [06662] studieth [01897] to answer [06030]: but the mouth [06310] of the wicked [07563] poureth [05042] out evil things [07451].
2 The tongue [03956] of the wise [02450] useth knowledge [01847] aright [03190]: but the mouth [06310] of fools [03684] poureth out [05042] foolishness [0200].
23 Turn [07725] you at my reproof [08433]: behold, I will pour out [05042] my spirit [07307] unto you, I will make known [03045] my words [01697] unto you.
4 The words [01697] of a man's [0376] mouth [06310] are as deep [06013] waters [04325], and the wellspring [04726] of wisdom [02451] as a flowing [05042] brook [05158].
