When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

[To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.] O LORD our Lord, how excellent {is} thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

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

For so hath the Lord commanded us, {saying}, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these {things}.
