According to David, this verse means that the sun is like a happy groom coming out of his room, or like a strong runner who is excited to race. It shows God's creation as powerful and joyful.

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:5

Psalms 19:5 depicts the sun as moving swiftly like a bridegroom and a champion, while Ecclesiastes 1:5 describes the sun as rising and setting in a repetitive cycle, implying no heroic action.

Ecclesiastes 1:5: The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. [hasteth: Heb. panteth]

Paradox #1

Psalms 19:5 describes the sun metaphorically as being like a bridegroom or a strong man. A contradiction or conflict might arise if someone argues that this poetic description contradicts scientific understanding of the sun as a star with no human qualities. However, this is more a matter of interpreting poetic language rather than a factual inconsistency. So, it's largely about how the text is read rather than actual contradiction.

Paradox #2

The potential scientific inconsistency in that verse might be the description of the sun. It is poetically described in a way that suggests it moves across the sky and follows a set path, which could be misinterpreted as geocentrism, the outdated belief that the sun revolves around the Earth. However, in modern science, we understand that Earth orbits the sun. This poetic language might not align with the scientific understanding of the solar system.
