Who can declare Thy greatness? For Thou hast encompassed the sphere of fire with the sphere of the firmament, Wherein is the Moon, Which by the splendour of the Sun raceth up, panting and shining,
And from month to month she stirreth up the world and its chances, And its good and evil happenings, According to the will of her Creator, ''To make known to the sons of men His mighty deeds."
מִי יְחַוֶּה גְדֻלָּתֶךָ. בְּהַקִּיפְךָ עַל גַּלְגַּל הָאֵשׁ גַּלְגַּל הָרָקִיעַ וּבוֹ הַיָּרֵחַ. וּמִזִּיו הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ שׁוֹאֵף וְזוֹרֵחַ.
Who can declare Thy greatness? For Thou hast encompassed the sphere of fire with the sphere of the firmament, Wherein is the Moon, Which by the splendour of the Sun raceth up, panting and shining,
וּבְתִשְׁעָה וְעֶשְׂרִים יוֹם יִסּוֹב גַּלְגַּלּוֹ. וְיַעֲלֶה דֶרֶךְ גְּבוּלוֹ:
And in nine and twenty days fulfilleth her revolving And then remounteth her bounded circuit.
וְסוֹדֶיהָ מֵהֶם פְּשׁוּטִים וּמֵהֶם עֲמוּקִים. וְגוּפוֹ פָּחוּת מִגּוּף הָאָרֶץ כְּחֵלֶק מִתִּשְׁעָה וּשְׁלֹשִׁים חֲלָקִים.
Of her secrets some lie unveiled and some are unsearchable, And her body is to the body of the earth As one part is to thirty-nine parts,
וְהוּא מְעוֹרֵר מִדֵּי חֹדֶשׁ בְּחָדְשׁוֹ עוֹלָם וְקוֹרוֹתָיו. וְטוֹבוֹתָיו וְרָעוֹתָיו. בִּרְצוֹן הַבּוֹרֵא אוֹתוֹ. לְהוֹדִיעַ לִבְנֵי הָאָדָם גְּבוּרוֹתָיו:
And from month to month she stirreth up the world and its chances, And its good and evil happenings, According to the will of her Creator, ''To make known to the sons of men His mighty deeds."
