Job 37:16

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

By wisdom Yahweh founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.

Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if you know?

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim. We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”

“Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!

He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.

For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

Yahweh’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

He alone stretches out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea.

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.

God Yahweh, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:

When he utters his voice, the waters in the heavens roar, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.

Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.

They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know?

Will you speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for him?

Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn’t see. He walks on the vault of the sky.’

“Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.

Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Yahweh sits as King forever.

He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.

For Yahweh is great, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods.

Yahweh is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.

Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.

For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,

I will lay it a wasteland. It won’t be pruned or hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.”

Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance. Behold, he lifts up the islands like a very little thing.

All the nations are like nothing before him. They are regarded by him as less than nothing, and vanity.

Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb says: “I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who alone stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth by myself;

Have you forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth? Do you live in fear continually all day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he prepares to destroy? Where is the fury of the oppressor?

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Yahweh says, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build to me? Where will I rest?

God has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.

Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

“Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly. Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth, for Yahweh is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.

You are Yahweh, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you.

who does great things that can’t be fathomed, marvelous things without number;

“With God is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding.

He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.

“God understands its way, and he knows its place.

Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.

Yes, can any understand the spreading of the clouds, and the thunderings of his pavilion?

Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?

Who determined its measures, if you know? Or who stretched the line on it?

when I made clouds its garment, and wrapped it in thick darkness,

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.

The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

Yahweh, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you? Yah, your faithfulness is around you.

Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches.

Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds for the children of men!

Yahweh is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.

For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings with the rain. He brings the wind out of his treasuries.

to him who by understanding made the heavens; for his loving kindness endures forever:

to him who spread out the earth above the waters; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

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,

I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens. I have commanded all their army.

Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens. when I call to them, they stand up together.

There is no one like you, Yahweh. You are great, and your name is great in might.

Daniel answered, “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever; for wisdom and might are his.

which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.
