God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;

and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so.

Thus says the Lord,
Who gives the sun for light by day
And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar;
The Lord of hosts is His name:

Yours is the day, Yours also is the night;
You have prepared the light and the sun.

He made the moon for the seasons;
The sun knows the place of its setting.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.

To Him who made the great lights,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting:
The sun to rule by day,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting,
The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

He who made the Pleiades and Orion
And changes deep darkness into morning,
Who also darkens day into night,
Who calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the surface of the earth,
The Lord is His name.

Who makes the Bear, Orion and the Pleiades,
And the chambers of the south;

When the morning stars sang together
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;

Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.
In them He has placed a tent for the sun,

“If even the moon has no brightness
And the stars are not pure in His sight,

Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all stars of light!

“You alone are the Lord.
You have made the heavens,
The heaven of heavens with all their host,
The earth and all that is on it,
The seas and all that is in them.
You give life to all of them
And the heavenly host bows down before You.

Let them fear You while the sun endures,
And as long as the moon, throughout all generations.

In his days may the righteous flourish,
And abundance of peace till the moon is no more.
