There is no speech nor language, Where their voice is not heard.

Creation's Universal Language

While the verse can seem confusing, most commentators like John Calvin and Albert Barnes explain that it highlights a profound truth: God's glory in creation speaks a universal language. The idea is not that there is no sound, but that there is no human language or nation where this divine 'voice' cannot be understood. Creation's message transcends all earthly linguistic barriers, speaking directly to all people everywhere.
