1 The firmament on high is his beauty, the beauty of heaven with its glorious shew.
2 The sun when he appeareth shewing forth at his rising, an admirable instrument, the work of the most High.
3 At noon he burneth the earth, and who can abide his burning heat? As one keeping a furnace in the works of heat:
4 The sun three times as much, burneth the mountains, breathing out fiery vapours, and shining with his beams, he blindeth the eyes.
5 Great is the Lord that made him, and at his words he hath hastened his course.
6 And the moon in all in her season, is for a declaration of times and a sign of the world.
7 From the moon is the sign of the festival day, a light that decreaseth in her perfection.
