3Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully [on the strings] with a loud and joyful sound. 4For the word of the Lord is right; And all His work is done in faithfulness. He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord. 6By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, And all their host by the breath of His mouth. 7He gathers the waters of the sea together as in a wineskin; He puts the deeps in storehouses.
