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

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

(For we {are but of} yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth {are} a shadow:) {nothing: Heb. not}

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. {And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}

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

Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, {tender...: or, bowels of the mercy} {dayspring: or, sunrising, or, branch}

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:

Knowest thou {it}, because thou wast then born? or {because} the number of thy days {is} great?

{Art} thou the first man {that} was born? or wast thou made before the hills?

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. {hast...: Heb. knowest understanding}

By what way is the light parted, {which} scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

Where {is} the way {where} light dwelleth? and {as for} darkness, where {is} the place thereof,

Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: {the day...: Heb. between the day and between the night}

{Seek him} that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD {is} his name:

He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. {rejoice: or, sing}

Knowest thou {it}, because thou wast then born? or {because} the number of thy days {is} great?

In the dark they dig through houses, {which} they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
