¹² Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days `began', `And' caused the dayspring to know its place;

¹⁶ The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

¹⁹ And we have the word of prophecy `made' more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:

⁷⁸ Because of the tender mercy of our God, Whereby the dayspring from on high shall visit us,

³ Praise ye him, sun and moon: Praise him, all ye stars of light.

⁴ Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

⁵ Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For he commanded, and they were created.

⁷ To him that made great lights; For his lovingkindness `endureth' for ever:

⁸ The sun to rule by day; For his lovingkindness `endureth' for ever;

²¹ `Doubtless', thou knowest, for thou wast then born, And the number of thy days is great!

⁴ Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.

⁷ Art thou the first man that was born? Or wast thou brought forth before the hills?

⁹ (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow);

⁵ And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
