Thus says God the LORD, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it:

For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: "I [am] the LORD, and [there is] no other.

For [in] six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens [are] the work of Your hands.

And: "You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail."

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, Measured heaven with a span And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? Weighed the mountains in scales And the hills in a balance?

[It is] He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants [are] like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

With Him, have you spread out the skies, Strong as a cast metal mirror?

Lift up your eyes on high, And see who has created these [things,] Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, By the greatness of His might And the strength of [His] power; Not one is missing.

Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven.

They continue this day according to Your ordinances, For all [are] Your servants.

He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name.

Let them praise the name of the LORD, For He commanded and they were created.

Praise the LORD from the earth, You great sea creatures and all the depths;
