They stand at the words of the holy one, just as he orders, and they will never grow tired as they keep watch.
The glory of the stars is the beauty of heaven; the Lord enlighteneth the world on high.
They stay in the places assigned to them by the Holy One and never relax their dutiful watch.
By the Lord’s command the moon keeps its appointed place, and does not fade as the stars keep watch.
At the command of the Holy One they remain in their appointed places, and they never relax in their vigils.
On the orders of the Holy One they stand in their appointed places; they never relax in their watches.
On the orders of the Holy One they stand in their appointed places; they never relax in their watches.
On the orders of the Holy One they stand in their appointed places; they never relax in their watches.
On the orders of the Holy One they stand in their appointed places; they never relax in their watches.
At the command of the Holy One they stand as ordered, they never relax in their watches.
At the command of the Holy One they stand as ordered, they never relax in their watches.
In (or At) the words of the Holy (One), those (or they) shall stand at the doom; and those shall not fail in their wakings. [In words holy men shall stand at the doom; and they shall not fail in their watches.]
