For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters.

For He spoke, and it was [done;] He commanded, and it stood fast.

To Him who laid out the earth above the waters, For His mercy [endures] forever;

He stretches out the north over empty space; [He] hangs the earth on nothing.

" Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell [Me,] if you have understanding.

The LORD reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The LORD is clothed, He has girded Himself with strength. Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved.

Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns; The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples righteously."

[One] generation passes away, and [another] generation comes; But the earth abides forever.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
