Who ^(A)created the heavens and ^(B)stretched them out,
Who spread out the ^(C)earth and its ^[a]offspring,
Who ^(D)gives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk in it:

^16 (A)Come near to Me, listen to this:
From the beginning I have ^(B)not spoken in secret,
^(C)From the time it took place, I was there.
And now ^(D)the Lord ^[a]God has sent Me, and His Spirit.”
