Sirach 43:8-10

Revised Standard Version

⁸ The month is named for the moon,
    increasing marvelously in its phases,
an instrument of the hosts on high
    shining forth in the firmament of heaven.

⁹ The glory of the stars is the beauty of heaven,
    a gleaming array in the heights of the Lord.
¹⁰ At the command of the Holy One they stand as ordered,
    they never relax in their watches.
