For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
