Why did Joshua, in ordering the sun to stand still, use the word "dom" (meaning silence) rather than "omade" (still). The Midrash Tanhuma answered that as long as the sun continues to move it sings praise to God. When it ceases to move, it ceases to praise.
All nature sings to the Lord. Even at this moment, praises abound, ascending toward the Holy One, blessed be He, from the most tender shoot to the cosmos.
