| The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. – By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. … For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. – Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. |
| Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. |
| When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? |
