It rises at one end of the heavens
This phrase speaks to the sun's daily journey across the sky, a testament to God's creation and order. The Hebrew word for "rises" is "מֹוצָאָה" (motsa'ah), which can also mean "going forth" or "origin." This suggests not just a physical rising but a divine commissioning. The sun's path is a reminder of God's faithfulness and the regularity of His creation. In ancient times, the sun was often worshipped as a deity, but here it is depicted as a servant of the one true God, emphasizing His sovereignty over all creation.

and makes its circuit to the other
The phrase "makes its circuit" uses the Hebrew word "סָבַב" (sabab), meaning to go around or encircle. This conveys the completeness and perfection of the sun's path, symbolizing God's omnipresence and omnipotence. The sun's circuit is a daily reminder of God's unchanging nature and His eternal presence. Historically, this reflects the understanding of the cosmos in biblical times, where the sun's predictable path was a sign of divine order.

nothing is deprived of its warmth
The word "deprived" comes from the Hebrew "נָסַר" (nasar), meaning to withhold or keep back. This highlights the sun's role in sustaining life, a metaphor for God's provision and care. The warmth of the sun is a universal blessing, illustrating God's grace that extends to all creation. In a spiritual sense, this warmth can be seen as the light of God's truth and love, which reaches every corner of the earth. Theologically, it underscores the idea that God's presence and blessings are available to all, reflecting His impartiality and generosity.

Verse 6. - His going forth is from the end of the heaven The poet, like other poets, describes the phenomena as they appear to him. He does not broach any astronomical theory. And his circuit (i.e. his course) unto the ends of it; i.e. he proceeds from one end of the heavens to the other. And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. Many things are hidden from the light of the sun, but nothing from its "heat." which is the vital force whence the whole earth receives life and energy.
