That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

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

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

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

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}

[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

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

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.}

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. {While...: Heb. As yet all the days of 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}

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

Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant {be} not with day and night, {and if} I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

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

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}

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: {he made} the stars also. {to rule the day...: Heb. for the rule of the day, etc.}

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to {give} the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. {hath: Gr. is he who hath}

Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep {forth}. {beasts...: Heb. beasts thereof do trample on the forest}

And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. {Is} not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. {Jasher: or, the upright?}

And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, {even} all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. {divided: or, imparted}

Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. {stand...: Heb. be silent}

{If} I take the wings of the morning, {and} dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

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

Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, {and} the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts {is} his name:

And for the precious fruits {brought forth} by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, {put: Heb. thrust} {moon: Heb. moons}
