Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.

Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.

Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:

And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

And the evening and the morning were the third day.

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:

Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.

But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.

The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

A Psalm of David.] The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
