Yet their voice[a] goes out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.(A)
In the heavens God has pitched a tent(B) for the sun.(C)
    It is like a bridegroom(D) coming out of his chamber,(E)
    like a champion(F) rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens(G)
    and makes its circuit to the other;(H)
    nothing is deprived of its warmth.
