¹² The maker of the earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens,

⁸ Stretching out the heavens by Himself, And treading on the heights of the sea,

¹ In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth --

²² He who is sitting on the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants `are' as grasshoppers, He who is stretching out as a thin thing the heavens, And spreadeth them as a tent to dwell in.

⁴ Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast known understanding.

⁵ Who placed its measures -- if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched out upon it a line?

⁶ On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone?

⁷ In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons of God shout for joy,

⁶⁹ And buildeth His sanctuary as a high place, Like the earth, He founded it to the age.

⁴ Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

⁵ They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.

¹⁹ Jehovah by wisdom did found the earth, He prepared the heavens by understanding.

¹⁸ For thus said Jehovah, Creator of heaven, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it -- not empty He prepared it, For inhabiting He formed it: `I `am' Jehovah, and there is none else.

¹⁵ The maker of earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding stretched out the heavens,

¹⁶ At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters `are' in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And He bringeth out wind from His treasures.

¹⁷ Brutish hath been every man by knowledge, Put to shame hath been every refiner by a graven image, For false `is' his molten image, And there is no breath in them.

¹⁸ Vanity `are' they -- work of errors, In the time of their inspection they perish.

¹⁹ Not like these `is' the portion of Jacob, For He `is' former of all things, And `Israel is' the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts `is' His name.

¹⁶ because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created,

³ all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened.

¹ The burden of a word of Jehovah on Israel. An affirmation of Jehovah, Stretching out heaven, and founding earth, And forming the spirit of man in his midst.

¹⁷ `Ah, Lord Jehovah, lo, Thou hast made the heavens and the earth by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out arm; there is nothing too wonderful for Thee:

¹³ At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters `is' in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And bringeth out wind from His treasures.

⁸ Thus said Jehovah: `In a time of good pleasure I answered thee, And in a day of salvation I helped thee, And I keep thee, and give thee, For a covenant of the people, To establish the earth, To cause to inherit desolate inheritances.

¹³ Also, My hand hath founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling unto them, they stand together.

⁷ Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,

² For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.

⁶ By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

¹ Jehovah hath reigned, Excellency He hath put on, Jehovah put on strength, He girded Himself, Also -- established is the world, unmoved.

² Covering himself `with' light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,

²⁴ How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.

⁹⁰ To all generations Thy faithfulness, Thou didst establish earth, and it standeth.

⁵ To Him making the heavens by understanding, For to the age `is' His kindness.

⁶ To Him spreading the earth over the waters, For to the age `is' His kindness.

⁵ O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope `is' on Jehovah his God,

⁶ Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that `is' in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

⁴ Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What `is' His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest!

⁵ Thus said God, Jehovah, preparing The heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking in it.

²⁴ Thus said Jehovah, thy redeemer, And thy framer from the womb: `I `am' Jehovah, doing all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself, Spreading out the earth -- who `is' with Me?

¹² I made earth, and man on it prepared, I -- My hands stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have commanded.

⁶ And God saith, `Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.'

⁷ And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the waters which `are' under the expanse, and the waters which `are' above the expanse: and it is so.

⁸ And God calleth to the expanse `Heavens;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day second.

⁹ And God saith, `Let the waters under the heavens be collected unto one place, and let the dry land be seen:' and it is so.
