In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

The heavens and the earth and their immense arrangement were completed.

This is because all the gods of the nations are useless idols while Jehovah created the heavens.

Praise Jehovah the God of Israel, Creator of heaven and earth! He has given King David a wise son, full of understanding and skill. He now plans to build a Temple for Jehovah and a palace for himself.

You are Jehovah, even you only! You made heaven, the heaven of heavens with all their armies, the earth and all things in it, the seas and everything in them. You keep them from destruction and the armies of heaven are your worshippers.

He alone spreads out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.

When I look at your heavens, the creation of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have set in place,

([Psalm of David]) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky displays what his hands have made.

The heavens were made by the word of Jehovah, and by the breath of his mouth their entire host.

He spoke and it was done! He commanded and it stood fast.

Praise him, you highest heaven and the water above the sky. Let them praise the name of Jehovah for they were created by his command. He set them in their places forever and ever. He made it a law that no one can break.

When he prepared the heavens, I was there. When he circled the face of the deep:

O Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

God created the heavens and stretched them out. He fashioned the earth and all that lives there. He gave life and breath to all its people. And now Jehovah God says to his servant:

Jehovah says: Who created the heavens? He who is God. He fashioned and made the earth. He founded it and he did not create it to be empty but formed it to be inhabited. He says: I am Jehovah, and there is no other.

I am the one who made the earth. I created human beings to live there. With my power I stretched out the heavens. I control the sun, the moon, and the stars.

He who made the earth by his power, and established the world by his wisdom; also stretched out the heavens by his understanding.

Ah Lord Jehovah! You have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for you.

Jehovah made the earth by his power. By his wisdom he created the world and stretched out the heavens.

When they heard they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said: Jehovah, you are God, who made heaven and earth, the sea and all in them.

They said: Sirs, why do you do these things? We are only men like you. We bring you good news. You should turn from these worthless things to the living God. He is the God who made heaven and earth, the sea and all things.

And, You, Lord, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands. (Psalm 102:25)

And he swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that are in it, and the earth, and the things that are in it, and the sea, and the things there, that there would be no more delay.

He spoke in a loud voice: Respect God, and give him glory! The hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
