the moon and stars to rule by night, for His lovingkindness endures forever,
Then God made the two great lights—the greater light for dominion over the day, and the lesser light as well as the stars for dominion over the night.
if I looked at the sun when it shines or the moon moving in splendor,
The day is Yours, the night also is Yours. You provided moon and sun.
Out of the mouths of babies and toddlers You established power, because of Your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You established—
“Only if this fixed order departs from before Me” —it is a declaration of Adonai— “then also might Israel’s offspring cease from being a nation before Me—for all time.”
