1
How beautiful is the bright, clear sky above us! What a glorious sight it is!
2
The sun, when it appears, proclaims as it rises how marvelous a thing it is, made by the Most High.
3
At noon it dries up the land; no one can stand its blazing heat.
4
The setting sun sets fire to the hilltops, like a metal furnace glowing from the heat. It sends out fiery rays, blinding the eyes with its brightness.
5
The Lord, who made it, is great; it speeds on its way at his command.
6
There is also the moon, marking the passage of time, an eternal sign of the changing seasons.
7
The moon determines the holy days. Its light grows full and then grows dim.
