Thine is the day, thine also the night; thou hast established the luminaries and the sun.
Thou hast made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.
Thou makest darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
When I look at thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast established;
I form light and create darkness, I make weal and create woe, I am the Lord, who do all these things.
Thus says the Lord: If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the ordinances of heaven and earth,
so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
