The heavens are telling of the glory of God;The fancy term for this is "natural revelation." It means that the universe itself is telling of how great God is, and how He has created all things. The idea is that everything is so beautiful, so detailed, so precise, and so well balanced, that it is evidence that God exists, and that He made everything.
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
Personally, I've always found this argument gets stretched a little too far in some Christian circles. I've heard it said that just by studying nature, one will arrive at the existence of Jehovah. While I can follow to the point of some sort of supernatural that created everything, getting from there to Jehovah specifically takes a lot more stretching than I can picture. If that view were true, then the deep dark tribes of Africa or Indonesia would have been worshiping Jehovah instead of spirits.
