  [1] Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights! [2] Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his host! [3] Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars! [4] Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You waters that are above the heavens. [5] Let them praise the name of Yahweh, For he commanded, and they were created. [6] He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away. [7] Praise Yahweh from the earth, You great sea creatures, and all depths! [8] Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling his word; [9] Mountains and all hills; Fruit trees and all cedars; [10] Wild animals and all cattle; Small creatures and flying birds; [11] Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth; [12] Both young men and maidens; Old men and children: [13] Let them praise the name of Yahweh, For his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens. [14] He has lifted up the horn of his people, The praise of all his saints; Even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!

• Isaiah 47:13-14

  [13] You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels: let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from the things that shall come on you. [14] Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.

• Psalms 72:1-20

  [1] > God, give the king your justice; Your righteousness to the royal son. [2] He will judge your people with righteousness, And your poor with justice. [3] The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness. [4] He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, And will break the oppressor in pieces. [5] They shall fear you while the sun endures; And as long as the moon, throughout all generations. [6] He will come down like rain on the mown grass, As showers that water the earth. [7] In his days, the righteous shall flourish, And abundance of peace, until the moon is no more. [8] He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, From the River to the ends of the earth. [9] Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust. [10] The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. [11] Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him. [12] For he will deliver the needy when he cries; The poor, who has no helper. [13] He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy. [14] He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight. [15] They shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba. Men shall pray for him continually. They shall bless him all day long. [16] There shall be abundance of grain throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field. [17] His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed. [18] Praise be to Yahweh God, the God of Israel, Who alone does marvelous deeds. [19] Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen. [20] This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.

• Genesis 1:1-31

  [1] In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [2] Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. [3] God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. [4] God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness. [5] God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day. [6] God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." [7] God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse, and it was so. [8] God called the expanse sky. There was evening and there was morning, a second day. [9] God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear," and it was so. [10] God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. God saw that it was good. [11] God said, "Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with its seed in it, on the earth," and it was so. [12] The earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with its seed in it, after their kind: and God saw that it was good. [13] There was evening and there was morning, a third day. [14] God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; [15] and let them be for lights in the expanse of sky to give light on the earth," and it was so. [16] God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars. [17] God set them in the expanse of sky to give light to the earth, [18] and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. [19] There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. [20] God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of sky." [21] God created the large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good. [22] God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." [23] There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. [24] God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind," and it was so. [25] God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good. [26] God 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 cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." [27] God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them. [28] God blessed them. God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." [29] God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food. [30] To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food." And it was so. [31] God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

• Malachi 4:2

  But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall.

• Amos 5:8

  Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, And turns the shadow of death into the morning, And makes the day dark with night; Who calls for the waters of the sea, And pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name,
