18 The Mountains high for the wild Goats, A place of [secure] refuge be, The Conies in the craggy Rocks Dwell, and for safety [thither] flee.
19 The changing Moon he doth appoint, The Seasons change [to Man] to show The glorious Sun, as taught by God, Its time to [rise and] set doth know.

20 The dismal darkness thou dost make, [And then] the day gives place to night, And in the Forests then come forth, Wild beasts that shun [Man and] the Light.
21 The hungry Lyons with their whelps [Do then] go roaring all abroad After their prey, and fiercely seek Their sustenance [assigned] from God.
