Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God

The Holy Bible: King James Version. Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009. Print.
Even the visible beauty and magnitude of the heavens are alone sufficient, he is saying, to proclaim the power of the creator: if you observe a most mighty and magnificent building, you admire the builder; and if you see a skillfully and beautifully designed ship, you think of the shipwright; and at the sight of a painting the painter comes to mind. Much more, to be sure, does the sight of creation lead the viewers to the creator.
