And God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
I put My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
¶“Have you ever in your life commanded the morning, And caused the dawn to know its place,
O Yahweh, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who displays Your splendor above the heavens!
¶When I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have established;
“Thus says Yahweh, ‘If you can break My covenant for the day and My covenant for the night, so that day and night will not be at their appointed time,
Thus says Yahweh, ‘If My covenant for day and night stand not, and the statutes for heaven and earth I have not established,
For so the Lord has commanded us, ‘I have placed You as a light for the Gentiles, That You may bring salvation to the end of the earth.’ ”
