For He spoke,and it was done;He commanded,and it stoodfast.
In the beginningGodcreatedthe heavensand the earth.
Then Godsaid,"Let there be light";and there was light.
By the wordof the LORDthe heavenswere made,And by the breathof His mouthalltheir host.
Your testimoniesare fullyconfirmed;HolinessbefitsYour house,O LORD,forevermore.
Whois therewho speaksand it comesto pass,Unlessthe Lordhas commanded[it]?
And He is the radianceof His gloryand the exact representationof His nature,and upholdsall thingsby the wordof His power.When He had madepurificationof sins,He sat downat the right handof the Majestyon high,
By faithwe understandthat the worldswere preparedby the wordof God,sothat what is seenwas not madeout of things which are visible.
"Worthyare You, our Lordand our God,to receivegloryand honorand power;for You createdall things,and becauseof Your willthey existed,and were created."
