it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

Study note
Setting — David describes the sun's daily path, drawing on the preceding metaphor of a champion rejoicing to run his course to frame its movement across the sky.
The words — The Hebrew תְּקוּפָתוֹ (tekufato) means "its circuit," paired with מוֹצָא (motza, "its going forth") to map the sun's complete daily trajectory.
The thread — This solar cycle appears in Ecclesiastes 1:5, which notes the sun's rising and setting, while Job 22:14 contrasts it with divine obscurity behind clouds.
Why it lands — The text states that the sun's path leaves no place untouched by its warmth, establishing a visible, universal pattern before the psalm shifts to the Law of the LORD.

The Hebrew words
King James Version
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
