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

⁹⁰ Your faith is unchanging from generation to generation: you have put the earth in its place, and it is not moved.

³ Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;

¹⁶ For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him;

¹⁷ He is before all things, and in him all things have being.

³ By faith it is clear to us that the order of events was fixed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made from things which only seem to be.

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.

⁵ Your witness is most certain; it is right for your house to be holy, O Lord, for ever.
