Psalms 33:5
3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4 For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
7 He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
