Psalms 33:6
4 For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
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.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
