⁵ He has made the earth strong on its bases, so that it may not be moved for ever and ever;

² For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.

¹⁰ Say among the nations, The Lord is King; yes, the world is ordered so that it may not be moved; he will be an upright judge of the peoples.

⁷ By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.

¹¹ And I saw a great white seat, and him who was seated on it, before whose face the earth and the heaven went in flight; and there was no place for them.

¹⁴ And the heaven was taken away like the roll of a book when it is rolled up; and all the mountains and islands were moved out of their places.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; and in that day the heavens will be rolled up with a great noise, and the substance of the earth will be changed by violent heat, and the world and everything in it will be burned up.

⁴ One generation goes and another comes; but the earth is for ever.

⁶ To him by whom the earth was stretched out over the waters: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

⁹ For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.

¹ The Lord is King; he is clothed with glory; the Lord is clothed with strength; power is the cord of his robe; the world is fixed, so that it may not be moved.

⁴ Where were you when I put the earth on its base? Say, if you have knowledge.

⁵ By whom were its measures fixed? Say, if you have wisdom; or by whom was the line stretched out over it?

⁶ On what were its pillars based, or who put down its angle-stone,

⁷ When the morning stars made songs together, and all the sons of the gods gave cries of joy?
