Lift

Lift up - to the heavens - your eyes, And look around to the earth beneath Though, the heavens, like smoke, should have vanished And, the earth, like a garment, should fall to pieces, And, her inhabitants, in like manner, should die, Yet, my salvation, unto times age-abiding, shall continue, And, my righteousness, shall not be broken down.

or lest thou shouldest lift up thine eyes towards the heavens and see the sun and the moon, and the stars - all the host of the heavens, and shouldest be seduced, and shouldest bow thyself down to them and he led to serve them, - the which Yahweh thy God hath assigned unto all the peoples under all the heavens;

If I looked at the sun, when it flashed forth light, or at the moon, majestically marching along;

When I view thy heavens, the work, of thy fingers, moon and stars, which thou hast established,

The heavens, are telling the glory of GOD, And, the work of his hands, the expanse is declaring;

Who hath

Thus, saith Yahweh Who hath redeemed thee, Who hath fashioned thee from birth, - I - Yahweh, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens, alone, Spreading forth the earth, of myself;

Forming light and creating darkness, Making prosperity, and creating misfortune, - I - Yahweh, who doeth all these.

Surely, mine own hand, founded the earth, And, my right hand, stretched out the heavens, - While I was calling unto them, they stood forth, at once

Thus were finished the heavens and the earth and all their host.

Of old - the earth, thou didst found, And, the work of thy hands, are the heavens;

Praise him, sun and moon, Praise him, all ye stars of light;

Thus, shall ye say unto them, The gods that made not the heavens, And the earth, Shall perish out of the earth, And from under these heavens!

Because, in him, were created all things in the heavens and upon the earth, the things seen and the things unseen, whether thrones or lordships or principalities or authorities, - they all, through him and for him, have been created,

Bringeth

Counting the number of the stars, To all of them - names, he giveth.

By the greatness

Thine, are the heavens, Yea, thine, the earth, The world and the fulness thereof, Thou, didst found them;

Alas! My Lord, Yahweh! Lo! thou thyself, didst make the heavens, and the earth, by thy great might, and by thine outstretched arm, - There is nothing, too wonderful for thee:
