6The heavens were made by the Lord’s word and all the stars by the breath of his mouth. 7He gathers the water in the sea like a dam and puts the oceans in his storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord. Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him. 9He spoke, and it came into being. He gave the order, and there it stood. 10The Lord blocks the plans of the nations. He frustrates the schemes of the people of the world.
