⁶ He hath also established them for ever and ever: He hath made a decree which shall not pass away.

²⁵ Thus saith Jehovah: If my covenant of day and night `stand' not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

³³ Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth?

³⁷ It shall be established for ever as the moon, And `as' the faithful witness in the sky. Selah

³⁵ Thus saith Jehovah, who giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar; Jehovah of hosts is his name:

³⁶ If these ordinances depart from before me, saith Jehovah, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

⁹⁰ Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

⁹¹ They abide this day according to thine ordinances; For all things are thy servants.

¹⁰ And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors,

¹¹ And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

¹ Jehovah reigneth; he is clothed with majesty; Jehovah is clothed with strength; he hath girded himself therewith: The world also is established, that it cannot be moved.

²⁷ When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,

²⁸ When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong,

²⁹ When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;

⁹ For this is `as' the waters of Noah unto me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
