I have made the earth, and created man upon it. With my hands have I spread forth heaven, and given a commandment for all the Host thereof.

And God beheld all that he had made, and lo they were exceeding good: and so of the evening and morning was made the sixth day.

He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. He bindeth the water in his clouds, and the cloud is not broken under them. He holdeth back his stool, that it can not be seen, and spreadeth his clouds before it.read more.
He hath compassed the waters with certain bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

"Where wast thou, when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell plainly if thou hast understanding. Who hath measured it, knowest thou? Or, who hath spread the line upon it? Where upon stand the pillars of it? Or, who laid the corner stone?read more.
Where wast thou, when the morning stars praised me together, and all the children of God rejoiced triumphantly? Who shut the sea with doors, when it brake forth as a child out of his mother's womb? When I made the clouds to be a covering for it, and swaddled it with the dark; When I gave it my commandment, making doors and bars for it; saying, 'Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further, and here shalt thou lay down thy proud and high waves.'

For I will consider thy heavens, even the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handiwork.

Thou hast laid the foundations of the earth, that it never should move at any time. Thou coveredst it with the deep like as with a garment, so that the waters stand above the hills. But at thy rebuke they flee, at the voice of thy thunder they are afraid.read more.
Then are the hills seen aloft, and the valleys beneath - in their place which thou hast appointed for them. Thou hast set them their bounds, which they may not pass, that they turn not again to cover the earth.

Lift up your eyes on high, and consider who hath made those things, which come out by so great heaps; and he can call them all by their names. For there is nothing hid unto the greatness of his power, strength, and might.

and hath made of one blood all nations of men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth; and hath assigned before: how long time, and also the ends of their inhabitation.

Neither shall sowing time and harvest, cold, and heat, summer and winter, day and night cease, as long as the earth endureth."

Thou visitest the earth, thou waterest it, and makest it very plenteous. The river of God is full of waters; thou preparest man his corn, and thus thou providest for the earth.

Thou bringest forth grass for the cattle, and green herbs for the service of men. Thou bringest food out of the earth: wine to make glad the heart of man, oil to make him a cheerful countenance and bread to strengthen man's heart. The trees of the LORD also are full of sap, even the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted,read more.
wherein the birds make their nests; and the fir trees are a dwelling for the stork. The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats, and so are the stony rocks for the conies. Thou hast appointed the moon for certain seasons, the sun knoweth his going down. Thou makest darkness, that it may be night, wherein all the beasts of the forest do move. The lions, roaring after their prey, do seek their meat from God. But when the sun ariseth, they get them away together, and lie them down in their dens. Then goeth forth man to his work, and to till his land until the evening. O LORD, how manifold are thy works! Right wisely hast thou made them all; yea, the earth is full of thy riches. So is this great and wide sea also, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. There go the ships over, and there is that Leviathan, whom thou hast made, to take his pastime therein. These wait all upon thee, that thou mayest give them meat in due season.

The eyes of all wait upon thee, O LORD; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

Nevertheless, he left not himself without witness, in that he showed his benefits, in giving us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness."
