- The heavens:
- "When¹ I considerª° thy heavens,ª the workª of thy fingers,ª the moonª and the stars,ª which¹ thou hast ordained;ª°" {Psa 8:3} + "By the wordª of the LORDª were the heavensª made;ª° and all¹ the hostª of them by the breathª of his mouth.ª" {Psa 33:6} + "The heaven,ª [even] the heavens,ª [are] the LORD'S:ª but the earthª hath he givenª° to the childrenª of men.ª" {Psa 115:16} + "Praiseª° ye him, sunª and moon:ª praiseª° him, all¹ ye starsª of light.ª ... Praiseª° him, ye heavensª of heavens,ª and ye watersª that¹ [be] above¹¹ the heavens.ª" {Psa 148:3-4} + "[It is] he that sittethª° upon¹ the circleª of the earth,ª and the inhabitantsª° thereof [are] as grasshoppers;ª that stretcheth outª° the heavensª as a curtain,ª and spreadeth them outª° as a tentª to dwell in:ª° ... Lift upª° your eyesª on high,ª and beholdª° who¹ hath createdª° these¹ [things], that bringeth outª° their hostª by number:ª he callethª° them all¹ by namesª by the greatnessª¹ of his might,ª for that [he is] strongª in power;ª not¹ oneª faileth.ª°" {Isa 40:22-26} + "Thusª shall ye sayª° unto them, The godsª that¹ have notª madeª° the heavensª and the earth,ª [even] they shall perishª° from the earth,ª¹ and from¹ underª theseª heavens.ª ... He hath madeª° the earthª by his power,ª he hath establishedª° the worldª by his wisdom,ª and hath stretched outª° the heavensª by his discretion.ª" {Jer 10:11-12} + "Becauseª that which may be knownª of Godª isª° manifestª inª them;ª forª Godª hath shewedª° [it] unto them.ª ... Forª the¹ invisible thingsª of himª fromª the creationª of the worldª are clearly seen,ª° being understoodª° by the¹ things that are¹ made,² [even]ª¹ his²¹ eternalª powerª andª Godhead;ª so² that theyª areª° without excuse:ª" {Rom 1:19-20}
