He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;
He made the Pleiades and Orion; He turns the shadow of death into morning And makes the day dark as night; He calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the face of the earth; The Lord is His name.
Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name.
From there we circled round and reached Rhegium. And after one day the south wind blew; and the next day we came to Puteoli,
He waters the hills from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.
He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters, Who makes the clouds His chariot, Who walks on the wings of the wind,
From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind, And cold from the scattering winds of the north.
