1 The pride of the height is the firmament in its clearness, The appearance of heaven, in the spectacle of its glory.
2 The sun when he appears, bringing tidings as he goes forth, Is a marvelous instrument, the work of the Most High:
3 At his noon he dries up the country, And who shall stand against his burning heat?
4 A man blowing a furnace is in works of heat, But the sun three times more, burning up the mountains: Breathing out fiery vapours, And sending forth bright beams, he dims the eyes.
5 Great is the Lord that made him; And at his word he hastens his course.
6 The moon also is in all things for her season, For a declaration of times, and a sign of the world.
