Creation

1In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

2The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.

13For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

4For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

20For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.

17Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for you,

36For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

1I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

2My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

28Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, The Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

2Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

27God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.

19For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

6By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth.

6It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; Yahweh is his name.

24This is the day that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!

26God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

18Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.”

17Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

13I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!”

3God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.

18Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

8Our help is in Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth.

28‘For in him we live, and move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

9Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands?’

6Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,
