When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

{To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
