^8 (A)He alone spreads out the heavens,
And ^[a]treads on the ^[b]waves of the sea;

¹⁸ With Him, have you ^(A)spread out the ^(B)skies,
Strong as a cast metal mirror?

19 The ^(A)heavens declare the glory of God;
And the ^(B)firmament^[a] shows ^[b]His handiwork.

² Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,
Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.

²² It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who ^(A)stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a ^(B)tent to dwell in.

²⁴ Thus says the Lord, ^(A)your Redeemer,
And ^(B)He who formed you from the womb:
“I am the Lord, who makes all things,
^(C)Who stretches out the heavens ^[a]all alone,
Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself;

^12 (A)I have made the earth,
And ^(B)created man on it.
I—My hands—stretched out the heavens,
And ^(C)all their host I have commanded.
