Psalms 33:8
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.
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.
10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
