1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

⁶ Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

³ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

⁴ What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
