¹⁶ The day is Yours, the night also is ^(A)Yours;
^(B)You have prepared the light and the sun.

³ Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light!
⁴ Praise Him, ^(A)you heavens of heavens,
And ^(B)you waters above the heavens!

⁹ For ^(A)we were born yesterday, and know ^[a]nothing,
Because our days on earth are a shadow.

⁷⁸ Through the tender mercy of our God,
With which the ^[a]Dayspring from on high ^[b]has visited us;

^7 (A)To Him who made great lights,
For His mercy endures forever—
^8 (B)The sun to rule by day,
For His mercy endures forever;

²¹ Do you know it, because you were born then,
Or because the number of your days is great?
