Isaiah 40:12-31
English Standard Version
12 (A)Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
and marked off the heavens with a span,
enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure
and weighed the mountains in scales
and the hills in a balance?
13 (B)Who has measured[a] the Spirit of the Lord,
or what man shows him his counsel?
14 Whom did he consult,
and who made him understand?
(C)Who taught him the path of justice,
and taught him knowledge,
and showed him the way of understanding?
15 Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,
and are accounted (D)as the dust on the scales;
behold, he takes up (E)the coastlands like fine dust.
16 Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,
nor are (F)its beasts enough for a burnt offering.
17 (G)All the nations are as nothing before him,
they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.
18 (H)To whom then will you liken God,
(I)or what likeness compare with him?
19 (J)An idol! A craftsman casts it,
and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
and casts for it silver chains.
20 (K)He who is too impoverished for an offering
chooses wood[b] that will not rot;
he seeks out a skillful craftsman
to set up an idol that will not move.
21 (L)Do you not know? Do you not hear?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are (M)like grasshoppers;
(N)who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
23 (O)who brings princes to nothing,
and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness.
24 Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown,
scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth,
when he blows on them, and they wither,
(P)and the tempest carries them off like stubble.
25 (Q)To whom then will you compare me,
that I should be like him? says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high and see:
who created these?
(R)He who brings out their host by number,
calling them all by name;
by the greatness of his might
and because he is strong in power,
not one is missing.
27 Why do you say, O Jacob,
and speak, O Israel,
(S)“My way is hidden from the Lord,
(T)and my right is disregarded by my God”?
28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is (U)the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
(V)his understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
30 Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
31 but (W)they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings (X)like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.

Psalm 104:2-35
English Standard Version
2 covering yourself with light as with a garment,
(A)stretching out the heavens (B)like a tent.
3 He (C)lays the beams of his (D)chambers on the waters;
he makes (E)the clouds his chariot;
he rides on (F)the wings of the wind;
4 he (G)makes his messengers winds,
his (H)ministers (I)a flaming fire.
5 He (J)set the earth on its foundations,
so that it should never be moved.
6 You (K)covered it with the deep as with a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.
7 At (L)your rebuke they fled;
at (M)the sound of your thunder they (N)took to flight.
8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down
to the place that you (O)appointed for them.
9 You set (P)a boundary that they may not pass,
so that they (Q)might not again cover the earth.
10 You make springs gush forth in the valleys;
they flow between the hills;
11 they (R)give drink to every beast of the field;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;
they sing among the branches.
13 (S)From your lofty abode you (T)water the mountains;
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.
14 You cause (U)the grass to grow for the livestock
and (V)plants for man to cultivate,
that he may bring forth (W)food from the earth
15 and (X)wine to gladden the heart of man,
(Y)oil to make his face shine
and bread to (Z)strengthen man's heart.
16 The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly,
(AA)the cedars of Lebanon (AB)that he planted.
17 In them the birds build their nests;
the stork has her home in the fir trees.
18 The high mountains are for (AC)the wild goats;
the rocks are a refuge for (AD)the rock badgers.
19 He made the moon to mark the (AE)seasons;[a]
the sun knows its time for setting.
20 (AF)You make darkness, and it is night,
when all the beasts of the forest creep about.
21 (AG)The young lions roar for their prey,
seeking their food from God.
22 When the sun rises, they steal away
and lie down in their (AH)dens.
23 (AI)Man goes out to his work
and to his labor until the evening.
24 O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In (AJ)wisdom have you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
25 Here is the sea, great and wide,
(AK)which teems with creatures innumerable,
living things both small and great.
26 There go the ships,
and (AL)Leviathan, which you formed to (AM)play in it.[b]
27 These (AN)all look to you,
to (AO)give them their food in due season.
28 When you give it to them, they gather it up;
when you (AP)open your hand, they are filled with good things.
29 When you (AQ)hide your face, they are (AR)dismayed;
when you (AS)take away their breath, they die
and (AT)return to their dust.
30 When you (AU)send forth your Spirit,[c] they are created,
and you (AV)renew the face of the ground.
31 May the glory of the Lord (AW)endure forever;
may the Lord (AX)rejoice in his works,
32 who looks on the earth and it (AY)trembles,
who (AZ)touches the mountains and they smoke!
33 I will sing to the Lord (BA)as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
34 May my (BB)meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
35 Let (BC)sinners be consumed from the earth,
and let the wicked be no more!
(BD)Bless the Lord, O my soul!
(BE)Praise the Lord!
