Yours is the day,Yours alsois the night;You have preparedthe lightand the sun.
He madethe moonfor the seasons;The sunknowsthe placeof its setting.
You appointdarknessand it becomesnight,In which allthe beastsof the forestprowlabout.
WhenI considerYour heavens,the workof Your fingers,The moonand the stars,whichYou have ordained;
The One forminglightand creatingdarkness,Causingwell-beingand creatingcalamity;I am the LORDwho doesallthese.
"Thussaysthe LORD,'IfMy covenant[for] dayand night[stand] not, [and] the fixedpatternsof heavenand earthI have not established,
sothat you may be sonsof your Fatherwhois in heaven;for He causesHis sunto riseon [the] eviland [the] good,and sends rainon [the] righteousand [the] unrighteous.
