What does Psalm 19:4 mean when it says that God has pitched a tent for the sun? 

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

Is there a specific significance or maybe a Hebrew meaning for this? I'd love to understand what is meant by a tent being pitched for the sun. I have read some commentaries on this, but wonder if anyone knows if there is a deeper meaning behind it?

Theres a meaning for your topic aswell. The apostle Paul are taking this verse in Roman 10:18.

Just read the verses around Ps.19 and around Rm.10:18

Hint: It is talking about a bridegroom

This is simply a poetic way of saying that the sun resides within the heavens, the heavens being the tabernacle (or tent) for the sun. Then the sun is likened to a bridegroom.
