Psalms 136:9

He brought me into the inner court of Yahweh’s house; and I saw at the door of Yahweh’s temple, between the porch and the altar, there were about twenty-five men, with their backs toward Yahweh’s temple, and their faces toward the east. They were worshiping the sun toward the east.

God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.

and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Yahweh your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.

God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth,

and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the stars of the sky, which I have not commanded,

Yahweh’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

Who is she who looks out as the morning, beautiful as the moon, clear as the sun, and awesome as an army with banners?

You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Yahweh.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses the two tablets of the covenant, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.

He got rid of the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the army of the sky.

He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of Yahweh’s house, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer, who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?

He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.

Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!

They will spread them before the sun, the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, which they have served, after which they have walked, which they have sought, and which they have worshiped. They will not be gathered or be buried. They will be like dung on the surface of the earth.

But we will certainly perform every word that has gone out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then had we plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.

Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is God’s finger;” but Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.

Be careful, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn away to serve other gods and worship them;

for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious things that the moon can yield,

For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.

“Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!

Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;

if I have seen the sun when it shined, or the moon moving in splendor,

“Remember that you magnify his work, about which men have sung.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.

Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.

By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.

The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.

The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours, the world and its fullness. You have founded them.

Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches.

He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.

Consider the work of God, for who can make that straight, which he has made crooked?

But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.

There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
