I was there when the LORD put the heavens in place and stretched the sky over the surface of the sea.
On the surface of the sea, God has drawn a boundary line between light and darkness.
God has set up his kingdom in heaven, and he rules the whole creation.
With wisdom he made the sky. God's love never fails.
The LORD made the heavens and everything in them by his word.
By his wisdom and knowledge the LORD created heaven and earth.
It happened long before God had made the earth or any of its fields or even the dust.
I was with him when he placed the clouds in the sky and created the springs that fill the ocean.
The LORD cares for his nation, just as shepherds care for their flocks. He carries the lambs in his arms, while gently leading the mother sheep.
God is the one who rules the whole earth, and we who live here are merely insects. He spread out the heavens like a curtain or an open tent.
With your wisdom and power you created the earth and spread out the heavens.
Everything was created by him, everything in heaven and on earth, everything seen and unseen, including all forces and powers, and all rulers and authorities. All things were created by God's Son, and everything was made for him.
But now at last, God sent his Son to bring his message to us. God created the universe by his Son, and everything will some day belong to the Son.
