1 In [the] beginning*+ God*+ created+ the heavens and the earth.+

6 “You are Jehovah alone;+ you yourself have made the heavens,+ [even] the heaven of the heavens, and all their army,+ the earth+ and all that is upon it,+ the seas+ and all that is in them;+ and you are preserving all of them alive; and the army+ of the heavens are bowing down to you.

12 He* is the Maker of the earth by his power,+ the One firmly establishing the productive land* by his wisdom,+ and the One who by his understanding stretched out the heavens.+

24 Upon hearing this they with one accord raised their voices to God+ and said:

“Sovereign+ Lord,* you are the One who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them,+

11 “You are worthy, Jehovah,* even our God, to receive the glory+ and the honor+ and the power,+ because you created all things,+ and because of your will+ they existed and were created.”+

7 saying in a loud voice: “FEAR God+ and give him glory,+ because the hour of the judgment by him has arrived,+ and so worship the One who made+ the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.”+
