“Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
    and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.^(B)”
¹³ So the sun stood still,^(C)
    and the moon stopped,
    till the nation avenged itself on^[a] its enemies,

²⁵ “I have stirred^(A) up one from the north,^(B) and he comes—
    one from the rising sun who calls on my name.
He treads^(C) on rulers as if they were mortar,
    as if he were a potter treading the clay.

⁶ so that from the rising of the sun
    to the place of its setting^(A)
people may know^(B) there is none besides me.^(C)
    I am the Lord, and there is no other.

¹⁹ The sun will no more be your light by day,
    nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,^(A)
    and your God will be your glory.^(B)
20 Your sun^(C) will never set again,
    and your moon will wane no more;
the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your days of sorrow^(D) will end.

⁷⁸ because of the tender mercy of our God,
    by which the rising sun^(A) will come to us from heaven
