“Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place,
Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun.
Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars! Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the Lord! For he commanded and they were created.
For we are but of yesterday and know nothing, for our days on earth are a shadow.
God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,
because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high
to him who made the great lights, for his steadfast love endures forever; the sun to rule over the day, for his steadfast love endures forever;
You know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!
“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding.
“Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills?
