3 Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark, Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
And God said, Let there be lights in the arch of heaven, for a division between the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for marking the changes of the year, and for days and for years: And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so. And God made the two great lights: the greater light to be the ruler of the day, and the smaller light to be the ruler of the night: and he made the stars.
Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he put a tent for the sun, Who is like a newly married man coming from his bride-tent, and is glad like a strong runner starting on his way. His going out is from the end of the heaven, and his circle to the ends of it; there is nothing which is not open to his heat.
Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice. Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure.
