When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon
and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou
art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and
hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have
dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things
under his feet.
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,
throughout all generations. He shall come down like rain upon
the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. In his days
shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as
the moon endureth. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on
our solemn feast day.
Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto
David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun
before me. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as
a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going
down. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by
night.
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the
sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of
seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his
people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon
withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light,
and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. And it shall come
to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath
to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the
Lord.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon,
and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from
another star in glory. Let no man therefore judge you in meat,
or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or
of the sabbath days.
