Introduction

The Hebrew text of Psalm 19:4 reads as follows:[1]

אֵֽין־אֹ֭מֶר וְאֵ֣ין דְּבָרִ֑ים

בְּ֝לִ֗י נִשְׁמָ֥ע קוֹלָֽם: Consider the following alternative translations of this clause:

  • There is no actual speech or word, nor is its voice literally heard. (NET)
  • There is no utterance,there are no words, whose sound goes unheard. [2] (JPS 1985)

There are two ways to understand the relationship between the clauses in these verses.
