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.
10 They stay in the places assigned to them by the Holy Oneand never relax their dutiful watch.
11 Look at the rainbow and praise its Creator!How magnificent, how radiant, its beauty!
