Exegesis
In parallel, the conjunction umaaseh {וּמַעֲשֵׂה | û-ma-ʿă-śê} ‘and the work’ with the pronominal suffix yadav {יָדָיו | yā-ḏāw} ‘of His hands’ pairs with the Hifil participle maggid {מַגִּיד | mag-gîḏ} ‘is making known’, followed by the subject harakia {הָרָקִיעַ | hā-rā-qî-ʿa} ‘the expanse’. The Hebrew poetic parallelism of two cosmic witnesses (‘heavens’, ‘expanse’) and two verbs (‘tell’, ‘declare’) underscores the continual proclamation of divine creative power. The English rendering mirrors this balance.
In context — Psalm 19:1
The heavens are telling the glory of God , and the expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
