²⁶ Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:^(A)
    Who created^(B) all these?
He who brings out the starry host^(C) one by one
    and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,^(D)
    not one of them is missing.^(E)

¹⁸ For this is what the Lord says—
he who created the heavens,
    he is God;
he who fashioned and made the earth,^(A)
    he founded it;
he did not create it to be empty,^(B)
    but formed it to be inhabited^(C)—
he says:
“I am the Lord,
    and there is no other.^(D)

²⁵ In the beginning^(A) you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens^(B) are the work of your hands.^(C)

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands.^(A)
11 They will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.^(B)
12 You will roll them up like a robe;
    like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,^(C)
    and your years will never end.”^[a](D)

⁵ This is what God the Lord says—
the Creator of the heavens,^(A) who stretches them out,
    who spreads out the earth^(B) with all that springs from it,^(C)
    who gives breath^(D) to its people,
    and life to those who walk on it:

¹² Who has measured the waters^(A) in the hollow of his hand,^(B)
    or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?^(C)
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
    or weighed the mountains on the scales
    and the hills in a balance?^(D)

²² He sits enthroned^(A) above the circle of the earth,
    and its people are like grasshoppers.^(B)
He stretches out the heavens^(C) like a canopy,^(D)
    and spreads them out like a tent^(E) to live in.^(F)
