Psalms

Psalm 33:6–9

⁶By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,

and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.

⁷He piles up the waters of the sea;

He puts the depths into storehouses.

⁸Let all the earth fear the LORD;

let all the people of the world revere Him.

⁹For He spoke, and it came to be;

He commanded, and it stood firm.
