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

The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, But the earth He has given to the sons of mankind.

To You I have raised my eyes, You who are enthroned in the heavens!

To Him who made the heavens with skill, For His faithfulness is everlasting;

Bend down Your heavens, LORD, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

It is He who covers the heavens with clouds, Who provides rain for the earth, Who makes grass sprout on the mountains.

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

Praise Him, highest heavens, And the waters that are above the heavens!

The LORD founded the earth by wisdom, He established the heavens by understanding.

"When He established the heavens, I was there; When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,

When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.

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

Listen, heavens, and hear, earth; For the LORD has spoken: "Sons I have raised and brought up, But they have revolted against Me.

Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, And the earth will be shaken from its place At the fury of the LORD of armies In the day of His burning anger.

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, And measured the heavens with a span, And calculated the dust of the earth with a measure, And weighed the mountains in a balance And the hills in a pair of scales?

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 live in.

This is what God the LORD says, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it And spirit to those who walk in it:

Shout for joy, you heavens, for the LORD has done it! Shout joyfully, you lower parts of the earth; Break into a shout of jubilation, you mountains, Forest, and every tree in it; For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, And in Israel He shows His glory.

This is what the LORD says, He who is your Redeemer, and the One who formed you from the womb: "I, the LORD, am the Maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself And spreading out the earth alone,

"Drip down, heavens, from above, And let the clouds pour down righteousness; Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit, And righteousness sprout with it. I, the LORD, have created it.
