He made the moon to mark the months, and the sun sets according to a regular schedule.

When the sun rises, they withdraw and sleep in their dens.

The sun will not harm you by day, or the moon by night.

People will fear you as long as the sun and moon remain in the sky, for generation after generation.

His dynasty will last forever. His throne will endure before me, like the sun,

From east to west the Lord’s name is deserving of praise.

the sun to rule by day, for his loyal love endures,

Praise him, O sun and moon! Praise him, all you shiny stars!

Yet its voice echoes throughout the earth; its words carry to the distant horizon. In the sky he has pitched a tent for the sun.

A psalm by Asaph. El, God, the Lord speaks, and summons the earth to come from the east and west.

Let them be like a snail that melts away as it moves along! Let them be like stillborn babies that never see the sun!

May his fame endure! May his dynasty last as long as the sun remains in the sky! May they use his name when they formulate their blessings! May all nations consider him to be favored by God!

You established the cycle of day and night; you put the moon and sun in place.

For the Lord God is our sovereign protector. The Lord bestows favor and honor; he withholds no good thing from those who have integrity.
