1By the sun in its morning brightness2 and by the moon as it follows it, 3by the day as it displays the sun’s glory 4and by the night as it covers it, 5by the sky and how He built it 6and by the earth and how He spread it, 7by the soul and how He formed it8 and inspired it [to know] its own rebellion and piety, 9the one who purifies his soul succeeds 10and the one who corrupts it fails.
