The moonand starsto ruleby night,For His lovingkindnessis everlasting.
Godmadethe twogreatlights,the greaterlightto governthe day,and the lesserlightto governthe night;[He made] the starsalso.
IfI have lookedat the sunwhenit shoneOr the moongoingin splendor,
Yours is the day,Yours alsois the night;You have preparedthe lightand the sun.
WhenI considerYour heavens,the workof Your fingers,The moonand the stars,whichYou have ordained;
Whatis manthat You takethoughtof him, And the sonof manthat You carefor him?
Thussaysthe LORD,Who givesthe sunfor lightby dayAnd the fixedorderof the moonand the starsfor lightby night,Who stirsup the seaso that its wavesroar;The LORDof hostsis His name:
