A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
But I say, Have they not heard?--"Did they not hear?" Can Israel, through any region of his dispersion, plead ignorance of these glad tidings?

Yes, verily, their sound went--"their voice went out"

into all the earth, and their words unto the end of the world--These beautiful words are from Psa 19:4. Whether the apostle quoted them as in their primary intention applicable to his subject (as OLSHAUSEN, ALFORD, &c.), or only "used scriptural language to express his own ideas, as is done involuntarily almost by every preacher in every sermon" [HODGE], expositors are not agreed. But though the latter may seem the more natural since "the rising of the Sun of righteousness upon the world" (Mal 4:2), "the Dayspring from on high visiting us, giving light to them that sat in darkness, and guiding our feet into the way of peace" (Luk 1:78-79), must have been familiar and delightful to the apostle's ear, we cannot doubt that the irradiation of the world with the beams of a better Sun by the universal diffusion of the Gospel of Christ, must have a mode of speaking quite natural, and to him scarcely figurative.

78 Through [1223] the tender [4698] mercy [1656] of our [2257] God [2316]; whereby [1722] [3739] the dayspring [395] from [1537] on high [5311] hath visited [1980] us [2248],
79 To give light [2014] to them that sit [2521] in [1722] darkness [4655] and [2532] in the shadow [4639] of death [2288], to guide [2720] our [2257] feet [4228] into [1519] the way [3598] of peace [1515].
2 But unto you that fear [03373] my name [08034] shall the Sun [08121] of righteousness [06666] arise [02224] with healing [04832] in his wings [03671]; and ye shall go forth [03318], and grow up [06335] as calves [05695] of the stall [04770].
4 Their line [06957] is gone out [03318] through all the earth [0776], and their words [04405] to the end [07097] of the world [08398]. In them hath he set [07760] a tabernacle [0168] for the sun [08121],
20 For [1063] the invisible things [517] of him [846] from [575] the creation [2937] of the world [2889] are clearly seen [2529], being understood [3539] by the things that are made [4161], even [5037] his [846] eternal [126] power [1411] and [2532] Godhead [2305]; so [1519] that they [846] are [1511] without excuse [379]:
6 Which [3588] is come [3918] unto [1519] you [5209], as [2531] [2532] it is in [1722] all [3956] the world [2889]; and [2532] bringeth forth fruit [2076] [2592], as [2531] it doth also [2532] in [1722] you [5213], since [575] the [3739] day [2250] ye heard [191] of it, and [2532] knew [1921] the grace [5485] of God [2316] in [1722] truth [225]:
23 If [1489] ye continue [1961] in the faith [4102] grounded [2311] and [2532] settled [1476], and [2532] be not [3361] moved away [3334] from [575] the hope [1680] of the gospel [2098], which [3739] ye have heard [191], and which [3588] was preached [2784] to [1722] every [3956] creature [2937] which is under [5259] heaven [3772]; whereof [3739] I [1473] Paul [3972] am made [1096] a minister [1249];
26 For [1063] the king [935] knoweth [1987] of [4012] these [5130] things, before [4314] whom [3739] also [2532] I speak [2980] freely [3955]: for [1063] I am persuaded [3982] that [3756] none [5100] [3762] of these things [5130] are hidden [2990] from him [846]; for [1063] this thing [5124] was [2076] not [3756] done [4238] in [1722] a corner [1137].
4 Their line [06957] is gone out [03318] through all the earth [0776], and their words [04405] to the end [07097] of the world [08398]. In them hath he set [07760] a tabernacle [0168] for the sun [08121],
14 How [4459] then [3767] shall they call on [1941] him in [1519] whom [3739] they have [4100] not [3756] believed [4100]? and [1161] how [4459] shall they believe in [4100] him of whom [3739] they have [191] not [3756] heard [191]? and [1161] how [4459] shall they hear [191] without [5565] a preacher [2784]?
15 And [1161] how [4459] shall they preach [2784], except [3362] they be sent [649]? as [2531] it is written [1125], How [5613] beautiful [5611] are the feet of them [4228] that preach the gospel [2097] of peace [1515], and bring glad tidings [2097] of good things [18]!
1 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250], that there went out [1831] a decree [1378] from [3844] Caesar [2541] Augustus [828], that all [3956] the world [3625] should be taxed [583].
9 That was [2258] the true [228] Light [5457], which [3739] lighteth [5461] every man [3956] [444] that cometh [2064] into [1519] the world [2889].

7 And even [3676] things without life [895] giving [1325] sound [5456], whether [1535] pipe [836] or [1535] harp [2788], except [3362] they give [1325] a distinction [1293] in the sounds [5353], how [4459] shall it be known [1097] what is piped [832] or [2228] harped [2789]?
4 The voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] is powerful [03581]; the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] is full of majesty [01926].
10 For precept [06673] must be upon precept [06673], precept [06673] upon precept [06673]; line [06957] upon line [06957], line [06957] upon line [06957]; here a little [02191], and there a little [02191]:
