Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand {for} the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy {endureth} for ever.

{Who} laid the foundations of the earth, {that} it should not be removed for ever. {Who...: Heb. He hath founded the earth upon her bases}

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry {land} appear: and it was so.

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. {hast...: Heb. knowest understanding}

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, {even} they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: {standing: Gr. consisting}

Say among the heathen {that} the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; {foundations: Heb. sockets} {fastened: Heb. made to sink?}
