¹² Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

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

¹⁹ We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

⁷⁸ Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited 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 be above the heavens.

⁵ Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

⁷ To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:

⁸ The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:

²¹ Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because 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 made 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 the evening and the morning were the first day.
