¹⁶ Yours is the day, yours also the night;
    you have established ^(A)the heavenly lights and the sun.

⁹ For we are but of yesterday and know nothing,
    for our days on earth are ^(A)a shadow.

⁷⁸ because of the ^(A)tender mercy of our God,
    whereby ^(B)the sunrise shall ^(C)visit us^{[a] (D)}from on high

⁷ to him who ^(A)made the great lights,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
⁸ the sun to rule over the day,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;

²¹ You know, for ^(A)you were born then,
    and the number of your days is great!
