Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.

LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

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

Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
