⁵ Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.

⁶ And God said, Let there be a solid arch stretching over the waters, parting the waters from the waters.

⁶ By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.

⁷ He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.

⁸ Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.

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

¹ At the first God made the heaven and the earth.

² And the earth was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the waters.

⁵ The sea is his, and he made it; and the dry land was formed by his hands.

¹¹ This is what you are to say to them: The gods who have not made the heavens and the earth will be cut off from the earth and from under the heavens.

¹² He has made the earth by his power, he has made the world strong in its place by his wisdom, and by his wise design the heavens have been stretched out.

¹³ At the sound of his voice there is a massing of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain, and sends out the wind from his store-houses.

⁶ It is he who makes his rooms in the heaven, basing his arch on the earth; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, and sends them flowing over the face of the earth; the Lord is his name.

¹¹ It is right, our Lord and our God, for you to have glory and honour and power: because by you were all things made, and by your desire they came into being.
