Exegesis
The construct noun kolam {קוֹלָם | qō-lām} ‘their voice’ is the semantic focus, linking back to creation’s testimony in Psalm 19:1. Hebrew word order foregrounds negation for emphasis, while the English renditions smooth the parallelism and preserve the contrast between silence and ubiquitous proclamation.
