Prayer: Ancient Jewish prayer

Blessed are you, Lord our God. By your word, you bring on the evening twilight. In wisdom, you open the gates of dawn and with foresight make time pass and seasons change. You set the stars in their courses in the sky. You create day and night, turning light into darkness and darkness into light, for you are the Lord of the hosts of heaven. Blessed are you, Lord, who brings on the evening twilight.
