But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; But the eretz has he given to the children of men.

<> To you I do lift up my eyes, You who sit in the heavens.

To him who by understanding made the heavens; For his lovingkindness endures forever:
