He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing. He wraps up the waters in the clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
He who forms the mountains, creates the wind, and reveals his thoughts to man, he who turns the dawn to darkness, and treads the high places of the earth-- the Lord God Almighty is his name.
The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes. He hurls down hail like pebbles.
Who can withstand his icy blast? He sends his word and melts them; he stirs up his breezes and the waters flow.
He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills. He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call. His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of a man; the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.
The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call upon him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him, he hears their cry and saves them.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
