1 The firmament on high is his beauty, the
beauty of heaven with its glorious shew.
2 The sun
when he appeareth shewing
forth at his rising, an admirable instrument, the work of the most High.
3 At noon
he burneth the earth, and who can abide his burning
heat? As one keeping a furnace in the works of heat:
4 The sun
three times as much, burneth the mountains,
breathing out fiery vapours, and shining with his
beams, he blindeth the eyes.
5 Great is
the Lord that made him, and at his words he hath hastened his course.
6 And the
moon in all in her season, is for a declaration of times and a sign of the
world.
7 From the
moon is the sign of the festival day, a light that decreaseth
in her perfection.
8 The
month is called after her name, increasing wonderfully in her perfection
9 Being an
instrument of the armies on high, shining gloriously in the Armament of
heaven.
10 The
glory of the stars is the beauty of heaven; the Lord enlighteneth
the world on high.
11 By the
words of the holy one they shall stand in judgment, and shall never fail in
their watches.
12 Look
upon the rainbow, and bless him that made it: it is very beautiful in its
brightness.
13 It encompasseth the heaven about with the circle of its
glory, the hands of the most High have displayed it.
14 By his
commandment he maketh the snow to fall apace, and sendeth forth swiftly the lightnings
of his judgment.
15 Through
this are the treasures opened, and the clouds fly out like birds.
16 By his
greatness he hath fixed the clouds, and the hailstones are broken.
17 At his
sight shall the mountains be shaken, and at his will the south wind shall
blow.
18 The
noise of his thunder shall strike the earth, so doth the northern storm, and
the whirlwind:
19 And as
the birds lighting upon the earth, he scattereth
snow, and the falling thereof, is as the coming down of locusts.
20 The eye admireth at the beauty of the whiteness thereof, and the
heart is astonished at the shower thereof.
21 He shall
pour frost as salt upon the earth: and when it freezeth,
it shall become like the tops of thistles.
22 The cold
north wind bloweth, and the water is congealed into
crystal; upon every gathering together of waters it shall rest, and shall
clothe the waters as a breastplate.
23 And it
shall devour the mountains, and burn the wilderness, and consume all that is
green as with fire.
24 A
present remedy of all is the speedy coming of a cloud, and a dew that meeteth it, by the heat that cometh, shall overpower it.
25 At his
word the wind is still, and with his thought he appeaseth
the deep, and the Lord hath planted islands therein.
26 Let them
that sail on the sea, tell the dangers thereof: and when we hear with our
ears, we shall admire.
27 There
are great and wonderful works: a variety of beasts, and of all living things,
and the monstrous creatures of whales.
28 Through him
is established the end of their journey, and by his word all things are
regulated.
29 We shall
say much, and yet shall want words: but the sum of our words is, He is all.
30 What
shall we be able to do to glorify him? for the
Almighty himself is above all his works.
31 The Lord
is terrible, and exceeding great, and his power is admirable.
32 Glorify
the Lord as much as ever you can, for he will yet far exceed, and his
magnificence is wonderful.
33 Blessing
the Lord, exalt him as much as you can: for he is above all praise.
34 When you
exalt him put forth all your strength, and be not weary: for you can never go
far enough.
35 Who
shall see him, and declare him? and who shall
magnify him as he is from the beginning?
36 There
are many things hidden from us that are greater than these: for we have seen
but a few of his works.
37 But the
Lord hath made all things, and to the godly he hath given wisdom.
