1. The pride of the heightsis the clear heavenly vault,the appearance of the skyin a vision of glory.
2. The sun, when it appears,announces at its risingwhat an amazing thing it is,a work of the Most High.
3. At noon it dries up the land,and who can endure its burning heat?
4. A person blows on a furnace,working in its burning heat,but the sun is three times hotterwhen it burns up mountains.When it breathes out fiery vapors,and shines forth its rays, it blinds eyes.
5. Great is the Lord who made it;it speeds on its course by his command.
