⁶ The Lord merely spoke,
    and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
    and all the stars were born.

²⁰ He sent out his word and healed them,
    snatching them from the door of death.

¹⁸ Then, at his command, it all melts.
    He sends his winds, and the ice thaws.

⁸ The grass withers and the flowers fade,
    but the word of our God stands forever.”
