The pride of the height is the firmament in its clearness,

2 The sun when it appeareth, bringing tidings as it goeth forth,

3 At noon it drieth up the country,

4 A man blowing a furnace is in works of heat,

5 Great is the Lord that made it;

6 The moon also is in all things for its season,

7 From the moon is the sign of the feast day;

8 The month is called after its name,

9 The beauty of heaven, the glory of the stars,

10 At the word of the Holy One they will stand in due order,

11 Look upon the rainbow, and praise him that made it;

12 It compasseth the heaven round about with a circle of glory;

13 By his commandment he maketh the snow to fall apace,

14 By reason thereof the treasure houses are opened;

15 By his mighty power he maketh strong the clouds,

16 And at his appearing the mountains will be shaken,

17 The voice of his thunder maketh the earth to travail;

18 The eye will marvel at the beauty of its whiteness,

19 The hoar frost also he poureth on the earth as salt;

20 The cold north wind shall blow,

21 It shall devour the mountains, and burn up the wilderness,

22 A mist coming speedily is the healing of all things;

23 By his counsel he hath stilled the deep,

24 They that sail on the sea tell of the danger thereof;

25 Therein are also those strange and wondrous works,

26 By reason of him his end hath success,

27 We may say many things, yet shall we not attain;

28 How shall we have strength to glorify him?

29 The Lord is terrible and exceeding great;

30 When ye glorify the Lord, exalt him as much as ye can;

31 Who hath seen him, that he may declare him?

32 Many things are hidden greater than these;

33 For the Lord made all things;
