Psalms 33:7
5 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.
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.
9 For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
