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— 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:

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,

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:

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 God the Lord says, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it And spirit to those who walk in it:

Thus says God the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it:

Thus saith God Jehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

This is what God, Yahweh, 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 life to those who walk on it—

Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

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 above the circle of the earth. The people below seem like grasshoppers to him! He spreads out the heavens like a curtain and makes his tent from them.

I am the one who made the earth and created people to live on it. With my hands I stretched out the heavens. All the stars are at my command.

This message concerning the fate of Israel came from the Lord:“ This message is from the Lord, who stretched out the heavens, laid the foundations of the earth, and formed the human spirit.

It was my hand that laid the foundations of the earth, my right hand that spread out the heavens above. When I call out the stars, they all appear in order.”

But the Lord made the earth by his power, and he preserves it by his wisdom. With his own understanding he stretched out the heavens.

You are dressed in a robe of light. You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens;you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds. You make the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind.The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants.You placed the world on its foundation so it would never be moved.You clothed the earth with floods of water, water that covered even the mountains.At your command, the water fled; at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed.Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.You make springs pour water into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains.They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees.You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home, and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.You cause grass to grow for the livestock and plants for people to use. You allow them to produce food from the earth—wine to make them glad, olive oil to soothe their skin, and bread to give them strength.The trees of the Lord are well cared for— the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.There the birds make their nests, and the storks make their homes in the cypresses.High in the mountains live the wild goats, and the rocks form a refuge for the hyraxes.You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set.You send the darkness, and it becomes night, when all the forest animals prowl about.Then the young lions roar for their prey, stalking the food provided by God.At dawn they slink back into their dens to rest.Then people go off to their work, where they labor until evening.O Lord, what a variety of things you have made! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your creatures.Here is the ocean, vast and wide, teeming with life of every kind, both large and small.See the ships sailing along, and Leviathan, which you made to play in the sea.They all depend on you to give them food as they need it.When you supply it, they gather it. You open your hand to feed them, and they are richly satisfied.But if you turn away from them, they panic. When you take away their breath, they die and turn again to dust.When you give them your breath, life is created, and you renew the face of the earth.May the glory of the Lord continue forever! The Lord takes pleasure in all he has made!The earth trembles at his glance; the mountains smoke at his touch.I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. I will praise my God to my last breath!May all my thoughts be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord.Let all sinners vanish from the face of the earth; let the wicked disappear forever. Let all that I am praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!

For the Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

“ O Sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!

For the Lord is God, and he created the heavens and earth and put everything in place. He made the world to be lived in, not to be a place of empty chaos.“ I am the Lord,” he says,“ and there is no other.

Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.

For the life of every living thing is in his hand, and the breath of every human being.

Give thanks to him who placed the earth among the waters. His faithful love endures forever.

and human hands can’t serve his needs— for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need.

God called the dry ground“ land” and the waters“ seas.” And God saw that it was good.Then God said,“ Let the land sprout with vegetation— every sort of seed bearing plant, and trees that grow seed bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And that is what happened.The land produced vegetation— all sorts of seed bearing plants, and trees with seed bearing fruit. Their seeds produced plants and trees of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him.For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths.

The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born.

Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands.They will perish, but you remain forever; they will wear out like old clothing. You will change them like a garment and discard them.

This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer and Creator:“ I am the Lord, who made all things. I alone stretched out the heavens. Who was with me when I made the earth?

The Lord’s home reaches up to the heavens, while its foundation is on the earth. He draws up water from the oceans and pours it down as rain on the land. The Lord is his name!

And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe.

He also says to the Son,“ In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands.They will perish, but you remain forever. They will wear out like old clothing.You will fold them up like a cloak and discard them like old clothing. But you are always the same; you will live forever.”

Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding.

Who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers? Who else knows the weight of the earth or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale?

For you have proudly defied the Lord of heaven and have had these cups from his Temple brought before you. You and your nobles and your wives and concubines have been drinking wine from them while praising gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone— gods that neither see nor hear nor know anything at all. But you have not honored the God who gives you the breath of life and controls your destiny!

Then God said,“ Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind— livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.” And that is what happened.God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.

As long as I live, while I have breath from God,

If God were to take back his spirit and withdraw his breath,
