4For the word of the Lord is upright, And all His work is done in faithfulness. 5He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord. By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host. 7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses. 8Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
