"Yours is the day, and yours is the night. You have made the morning light and the sun. "
— Psalms 73:16, Catholic Public Domain Version
“When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;”
“When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me; ”
“When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me;”
“When I tried to make sense of this, it was troubling to me.”
“Thine is the day, and thine is the night: thou hast made the morning light and the sun.”
“When my thoughts were turned to see the reason of this, it was a weariness in my eyes;”
“When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;”
In your virtue, you confirmed the sea. You crushed the heads of the serpents in the waters.
You have broken the heads of the serpent. You have given him as food for the people of the Ethiopians.
You have disrupted the fountains and the torrents. You have dried up the rivers of Ethan.
Yours is the day, and yours is the night. You have made the morning light and the sun.
You have made all the limits of the earth. The summer and the spring were formed by you.
Be mindful of this: the enemy placed blame against the Lord, and a foolish people has incited against your name.
Do not hand over to beasts the souls that confess to you; and do not forget the souls of your poor until the end.
