1
THE firmament on high is his beauty, the beauty of heaven with its glorious shew.
2
The sun when he appeareth shewing forth at his rising, an admirable instrument, the work of the most High.
3
At noon he burneth the earth, and who can abide his burning heat? As one keeping a furnace in the works of heat:
4
The sun three times as much, burneth the mountains, breathing out fiery vapours, and shining with his beams, he blindeth the eyes.
5
Great is the Lord that made him, and at his words he hath hastened his course.
6
And the moon in all in her season, is for a declaration of times and a sign of the world.
7
From the moon is the sign of the festival day, a light that decreaseth in her perfection.
8
The month is called after her name, increasing wonderfully in her perfection
9
Being an instrument of the armies on high, shining gloriously in the Armament of heaven.
10
The glory of the stars is the beauty of heaven; the Lord enlighteneth the world on high.
11
By the words of the holy one they shall stand in judgment, and shall never fail in their watches.
