Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens.

To Him who by wisdom made the heavens, For His mercy endures forever;

Bow down Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.

Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights!

Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, And you waters above the heavens!

The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens;

When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,

As the heavens for height and the earth for depth, So the heart of kings is unsearchable.

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For the LORD has spoken: "I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against Me;

Therefore I will shake the heavens, And the earth will move out of her place, In the wrath of the LORD of hosts And in the day of His fierce anger.

All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; All their host shall fall down As the leaf falls from the vine, And as fruit falling from a fig tree.

It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

Thus says God the LORD, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it:

Sing, O heavens, for the LORD has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth; Break forth into singing, you mountains, O forest, and every tree in it! For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, And glorified Himself in Israel.

Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, And He who formed you from the womb: "I am the LORD, who makes all things, Who stretches out the heavens all alone, Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself;

"Rain down, you heavens, from above, And let the skies pour down righteousness; Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, And let righteousness spring up together. I, the LORD, have created it.

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

For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: "I am the LORD, and there is no other.

Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together.
