Genesis 1:14-18
New American Standard Bible
14 Then God said, “Let there be [a](A)lights in the [b](B)expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and they shall [c]serve as (C)signs and for (D)seasons, and for days and years; 15 and they [d]shall serve as lights in the [e]expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 God made the two great lights, the (E)greater light [f]to govern the day, and the lesser light [g]to govern the night; He made (F)the stars also. 17 (G)God placed them in the [h]expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and [i]to (H)govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.

Deuteronomy 4:19

19 And be careful not to raise your eyes to heaven and look at the sun, the moon, and the stars, (A)all the heavenly [a]lights, (B)and allow yourself to be drawn away and worship them and serve them, things which the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.

Psalm 19:1-6
New American Standard Bible
The Works and the Word of God.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
19 The (A)heavens tell of the glory of God;
And their (B)expanse declares the work of His hands.
2 Day to (C)day pours forth speech,
And (D)night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
4 Their [a](E)line has gone out into all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has (F)placed a tent for the sun,
5 Which is like a groom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices like a strong person to run his course.
6 Its (G)rising is from [b]one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the [c]other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

For His faithfulness is everlasting.
