¹⁶ 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.

⁷ To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:

⁸ The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:

⁹ The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.

¹⁹ 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.

³ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

²⁶ Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.

⁵ Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.

¹⁶ The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

³ Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

⁷ When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

⁸ And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

⁹ And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
