God created the heavens and stretches them out. The Lord spreads out the earth with everything that grows on it. He gives breath to its people. He gives life to those who walk on it. He says to his servant,

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

Thus says God, the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it:

God, the Lord, created the heavens and stretched them out. He created the earth and everything in it. He gives breath to everyone, life to everyone who walks the earth. And it is he who says,

This is what God, the LORD, says— who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk on it—

This is what the true God, the LORD, says– the one who created the sky and stretched it out, the one who fashioned the earth and everything that lives on it, the one who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who live on it:

God Yahweh, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:

God sits on his throne high above the earth. Its people look like grasshoppers to him. He spreads out the heavens like a cover. He sets it up like a tent to live in.

I made the earth. I created human beings to live there. My own hands spread out the heavens. I put all the stars in their places.

This is a prophecy. It is the Lord’ s message about Israel. The Lord spreads out the heavens. He lays the foundation of the earth. He creates the human spirit within a person. He says,

With my own hand I laid the foundations of the earth. With my right hand I spread out the heavens. When I send for them, they come and stand ready to obey me.

But God used his power to make the earth. His wisdom set the world in place. His understanding spread out the heavens.

The Lord wraps himself in light as if it were a robe. He spreads out the heavens like a tent.He builds his palace high in the heavens. He makes the clouds serve as his chariot. He rides on the wings of the wind.He makes the winds serve as his messengers. He makes flashes of lightning serve him.He placed the earth on its foundations. It can never be moved.You, Lord, covered it with the oceans like a blanket. The waters covered the mountains.But you commanded the waters, and they ran away. At the sound of your thunder they rushed off.They flowed down the mountains. They went into the valleys. They went to the place you appointed for them.You drew a line they can’t cross. They will never cover the earth again.The Lord makes springs pour water into the valleys. It flows between the mountains.The springs give water to all the wild animals. The wild donkeys satisfy their thirst.The birds in the sky build nests by the waters. They sing among the branches.The Lord waters the mountains from his palace high in the clouds. The earth is filled with the things he has made.He makes grass grow for the cattle and plants for people to take care of. That’s how they get food from the earth.There is wine to make people glad. There is olive oil to make their skin glow. And there is bread to make them strong.The cedar trees of Lebanon belong to the Lord. He planted them and gave them plenty of water.There the birds make their nests. The stork has its home in the juniper trees.The high mountains belong to the wild goats. The cliffs are a safe place for the rock badgers.The Lord made the moon to mark off the seasons. The sun knows when to go down.You, Lord, bring darkness, and it becomes night. Then all the animals of the forest prowl around.The lions roar while they hunt. All their food comes from God.The sun rises, and they slip away. They return to their dens and lie down.Then people get up and go to work. They keep working until evening.Lord, you have made so many things! How wise you were when you made all of them! The earth is full of your creatures.Look at the ocean, so big and wide! It is filled with more creatures than people can count. It is filled with living things, from the largest to the smallest.Ships sail back and forth on it. Leviathan, the sea monster you made, plays in it.All creatures depend on you to give them their food when they need it.When you give it to them, they eat it. When you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things.When you turn your face away from them, they are terrified. When you take away their breath, they die and turn back into dust.When you send your Spirit, you create them. You give new life to the ground.May the glory of the Lord continue forever. May the Lord be happy with what he has made.When he looks at the earth, it trembles. When he touches the mountains, they pour out smoke.I will sing to the Lord all my life. I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.May these thoughts of mine please him. I find my joy in the Lord.But may sinners be gone from the earth. May evil people disappear. I will praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

The Spirit of God has made me. The breath of the Mighty One gives me life.

“ ‘ Lord and King, you have reached out your great and powerful arm. You have made the heavens and the earth. Nothing is too hard for you.

The Lord created the heavens. He is God. He formed the earth and made it. He set it firmly in place. He didn’t create it to be empty. Instead, he formed it for people to live on. He says,“ I am the Lord. There is no other Lord.

Then the Lord God formed a man. He made him out of the dust of the ground. God breathed the breath of life into him. And the man became a living person.

He holds the life of every creature in his hand. He controls the breath of every human being.

He spread out the earth on the waters. His faithful love continues forever.

He is not served by human hands. He doesn’t need anything. Instead, he himself gives life and breath to all people. He also gives them everything else they have.

God called the dry ground“ land.” He called all the water that was gathered together“ seas.” And God saw that it was good.Then God said,“ Let the land produce plants. Let them produce their own seeds. And let there be trees on the land that grow fruit with seeds in it. Let each kind of plant or tree have its own kind of seeds.” And that’s exactly what happened.So the land produced plants. Each kind of plant had its own kind of seeds. And the land produced trees that grew fruit with seeds in it. Each kind of tree had its own kind of seeds. God saw that it was good.

The earth belongs to the Lord. And so does everything in it. The world belongs to him. And so do all those who live in it.He set it firmly on the oceans. He made it secure on the waters.

The heavens were made when the Lord commanded it to happen. All the stars were created by the breath of his mouth.

In the beginning you made the earth secure. You placed it on its foundations. Your hands created the heavens.They will pass away. But you will remain. They will all wear out like a piece of clothing. You will make them like clothes that are taken off and thrown away.

The Lord says,“ People of Israel, I set you free. I formed you when you were born as a nation.“ I am the Lord. I am the Maker of everything. I alone stretch out the heavens. I spread out the earth by myself.

The Lord builds his palace high in the heavens. He lays its foundation on the earth. He sends for the waters in the clouds. Then he pours them out on the surface of the land. His name is the Lord.

But in these last days, he has spoken to us through his Son. He is the one whom God appointed to receive all things. God also made everything through him.

He also says,“ Lord, in the beginning you made the earth secure. You placed it on its foundations. The heavens are the work of your hands.They will pass away. But you remain. They will all wear out like a piece of clothing.You will roll them up like a robe. They will be changed as a person changes clothes. But you remain the same. Your years will never end.”( Psalm 102:25–27)

Don’t you know who made everything? Haven’t you heard about him? The Lord is the God who lives forever. He created everything on earth. He won’t become worn out or get tired. No one will ever know how great his understanding is.

Who has measured the oceans by using the palm of his hand? Who has used the width of his hand to mark off the sky? Who has measured out the dust of the earth in a basket? Who has weighed the mountains on scales? Who has weighed the hills in a balance?

You have taken your stand against the Lord of heaven. You had your servants bring cups from his temple to you. You and your nobles drank wine from them. So did your wives and concubines. You praised your gods. The statues of those gods are made out of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood or stone. They can’t see or hear or understand anything. But you didn’t honor God. He holds in his hand your very life and everything you do.

God said,“ Let the land produce every kind of living creature. Let there be livestock, and creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals.” And that’s exactly what happened.God made every kind of wild animal. He made every kind of livestock. He made every kind of creature that moves along the ground. And God saw that it was good.

As long as I have life and God gives me breath,

If he really wanted to, he could hold back his spirit and breath.
