On The Heavens

[31] Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? [32] Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? [33] Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? [34] Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? [35] Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are? [36] Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart? [37] Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven, [38] When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

• Power

To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.

There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.

Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,

• Sun

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
