3 At noon it dries up the land;no one can stand its blazing heat.
4 The setting sun sets fire to the hilltops,like a metal furnace glowing from the heat.It sends out fiery rays,blinding the eyes with its brightness.
5 The Lord, who made it, is great;it speeds on its way at his command.
6 There is also the moon, marking the passage of time,an eternal sign of the changing seasons.
7 The moon determines the holy days.Its light grows full and then grows dim.
8 The “month” is named after the moon,marvelous to watch as it grows fuller each night,a signal light for the heavenly armies,shining out in the dome of the sky.
9 The shining stars make the night sky lovely,brilliant ornaments in the Lord's high heavens.
