Psalm 19:1-6The New International Version
 

Studies have now shown that design-oriented firms in all kinds of industries outperform their more-traditional peers--that design and innovation go hand-in-hand with financial success. Research from Peer Insight has calculated a tenfold advantage in stock-market returns versus the S&P 500 for companies focused on consumer-experience design, as senior writer Linda Tischler explains in her profile of Yves Béhar. Across the pond in London, a portfolio of 63 design-driven companies has soundly trounced the FTSE 100 index over 13 years, according to a study by the Design Council.

 

The heavens declare the glory of God;
  the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Day after day they pour forth speech;
  night after night they display knowledge.

There is no speech or language
  where their voice is not heard.

Their voice goes out into all the earth,
  their words to the ends of the world.
  In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,

which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
  like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

It rises at one end of the heavens
  and makes its circuit to the other;
  nothing is hidden from its heat.
