ESVEnglish Standard Version

He made the moon to mark the seasons;

the sun knows its time for setting.

You make darkness, and it is night,

when all the beasts of the forest creep about.

The young lions roar for their prey,

seeking their food from God.

When the sun rises, they steal away

and lie down in their dens.

Man goes out to his work

and to his labor until the evening.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

He made the moon to mark the seasons,

and the sun knows when to go down.

You bring darkness, it becomes night,

and all the beasts of the forest prowl.

The lions roar for their prey

and seek their food from God.

The sun rises, and they steal away;

they return and lie down in their dens.

Then people go out to their work,

to their labor until evening.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

He made the moon to mark the festivals;

the sun knows when to set.

You bring darkness, and it becomes night,

when all the forest animals stir.

The young lions roar for their prey

and seek their food from God.

The sun rises; they go back

and lie down in their dens.

Man goes out to his work

and to his labor until evening.

NLTNew Living Translation

You made the moon to mark the seasons,

and the sun knows when to set.

You send the darkness, and it becomes night,

when all the forest animals prowl about.

Then the young lions roar for their prey,

stalking the food provided by God.

At dawn they slink back

into their dens to rest.

Then people go off to their work,

where they labor until evening.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

He made the moon for appointed times;

the sun knows its time for setting.

You make darkness, and it is night,

when all the animals of the forest creep about.

The young lions are roaring for the prey

and seeking their food from God.

When the sun rises, they gather together

and lie down in their dens.

Humankind goes out to its work,

and to its labor until evening.
