Psalm 111

 

1 Praise the Lord.

 

I will extol the Lord with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

 

2 Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.

 

3 Glorious and majestic are His deeds, and His righteousness endures forever.

 

4 He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and compassionate.

 

5 He provides food for those who fear Him;

 

He remembers his covenant forever.

 

6 He has shown His people the power of his works, giving them the lands of other nations.

 

7 The works of His hands are faithful and just;

 

all his precepts are trustworthy.

 

8 They are established for ever and ever,

 

enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.

 

9 He provided redemption for his people;

 

he ordained his covenant foreverโ€”

 

Holy and awesome is His name.

 

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.

There are other much older traditions of Sirius and dogs which originate in places seeming unrelated to Greece and Rome. For example, the ancient Chinese called Sirius Tsien Lang, the 'Heavenly Wolf'. It was associated with an old constellation called the Bow and Arrow, with the arrow pointed at Sirius, the wolf. This same constellation, with virtually the same stars, was also known in ancient Mesopotamia, where Sirius had names associated with dogs. Perhaps most intriguing of all such traditions is found among many of the native peoples of North America. Here there exist a remarkable number of occurrences of names for Sirius and legends about the star having to do with dogs and wolves. A few examples include: 'Moon Dog' (Alaskan Inuit); 'dog-face' (Blackfoot); 'Wolf Star' (Pawnee); and 'Wolf that hangs by the side of Heaven' (Northern Osage). Such appellations are not universal, many counter examples exist from other Native American groups. Nevertheless, it is intriguing to wonder if perhaps many of these canine-related names and stories involving Sirius could have a common origin from some long forgotten source on the Eurasian Continent, perhaps as long ago as the last Ice Age. Then again it could all be coincidence, we will probably never know.
