By the Word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for He commanded and they were created.

He also established them forever and ever; He made a decree which shall not pass away.

Then God said, Let there be light! And there was light.

By faith we understand that the universe was prepared by the Word of God, so that the things which are seen did not come into existence from things which are visible.

Your Testimonies are very sure; holiness befits Your house, O Jehovah, to the length of days.

Your faithfulness is from generation to generation; You have established the earth, and it remains.

They have stood to this day according to Your ordinances, for they all are Your servants.

For by Him all things were created that are in Heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.

And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His essence, and upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had by Himself made purification for our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and through Your will they exist and were created.
