and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,
My bow I have given in the cloud, and it hath been for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth;
Hast thou commanded morning since thy days? Causest thou the dawn to know its place?
To the Overseer, `On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.
For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.
`Thus said Jehovah: If ye do break My covenant of the day, And My covenant of the night, So that they are not daily and nightly in their season,
Thus said Jehovah: If My covenant `is' not daily and nightly, The statutes of heaven and earth I have not appointed --
for so hath the Lord commanded us: I have set thee for a light of nations -- for thy being for salvation unto the end of the earth.'
