The LORD created the heavens by his command, the sun, moon, and stars by his spoken word.

By his wisdom he made the heavens; his love is eternal;

he built the earth on the deep waters; his love is eternal.

Let them all praise the name of the LORD! He commanded, and they were created;

by his command they were fixed in their places forever, and they cannot disobey.

In the beginning, when God created the universe,

(You people must tell them that the gods who did not make the earth and the sky will be destroyed. They will no longer exist anywhere on earth.)

The LORD made the earth by his power; by his wisdom he created the world and stretched out the heavens.

"Sovereign LORD, you made the earth and the sky by your great power and might; nothing is too difficult for you.

Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him.

For through him God created everything in heaven and on earth, the seen and the unseen things, including spiritual powers, lords, rulers, and authorities. God created the whole universe through him and for him.

He said in a loud voice, "Honor God and praise his greatness! For the time has come for him to judge all people. Worship him who made heaven, earth, sea, and the springs of water!"

He rules over the sea, which he made; the land also, which he himself formed.

In six days I, the LORD, made the earth, the sky, the seas, and everything in them, but on the seventh day I rested. That is why I, the LORD, blessed the Sabbath and made it holy.

Who closed the gates to hold back the sea when it burst from the womb of the earth?

I marked a boundary for the sea and kept it behind bolted gates.

when he placed the clouds in the sky, when he opened the springs of the ocean

and ordered the waters of the sea to rise no further than he said. I was there when he laid the earth's foundations.

I know that your love will last for all time, that your faithfulness is as permanent as the sky.

But I will not stop loving David or fail to keep my promise to him.

He kept his promise to the people of Israel with loyalty and constant love for them. All people everywhere have seen the victory of our God.

The LORD is good; his love is eternal and his faithfulness lasts forever.

Remember that the LORD your God is the only God and that he is faithful. He will keep his covenant and show his constant love to a thousand generations of those who love him and obey his commands,

I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed the sins of my people. I said, "Lord God, you are great, and we honor you. You are faithful to your covenant and show constant love to those who love you and do what you command.

You will show your faithfulness and constant love to your people, the descendants of Abraham and of Jacob, as you promised our ancestors long ago.

Jesus answered, "It is written in your own Law that God said, 'You are gods.'

which is based on the hope for eternal life. God, who does not lie, promised us this life before the beginning of time,

There are these two things, then, that cannot change and about which God cannot lie. So we who have found safety with him are greatly encouraged to hold firmly to the hope placed before us.
