1 The firmament on high is his beauty; it is the beauty of heaven in a vision of glory.
2 The sun, at its appearance, announces its journey; it is an instrument of wonder, a work of the Most High.
3 At midday, it scorches the earth. And in the presence of its heat, who would be able to endure? It is like the custodian of a furnace in its works of heat.
4 In three ways, the sun acts: scorching the mountains, emitting fiery rays, and shining with its beams that can blind the eyes.
5 Great is the Lord who made it, and at his word, it hurries on its journey.
