^6 (A)By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the ^(B)host of them ^(C)by the breath of His mouth.
^7 (D)He gathers the waters of the sea together ^[a]as a heap;
He lays up the deep in storehouses.

⁸ Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
⁹ For ^(E)He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.

²⁰ Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
²¹ For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
²² Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.
