Commentary on Psalm 19:5 (Summary)

Psaume 19:6 (NEG79)

6 Et le soleil, semblable à un époux qui sort de sa chambre,S'élance dans la carrière avec la joie d'un héros;

In two striking images, the course of the sun in the sky is described. First, it is described as a groom who, after the wedding night, appears full of joy and zest for life. So, also the sun irresistibly runs her course in the heavens. The second image of a strong man who runs his course also emphasizes the sun’s strength. It is unstoppable. As without any effort, it courses through the heavens. The promise from Judges 5:31 is telling here: But your friends be like the sun as he rises in his might.
