Psalms 136:5–6

¹IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

¹¶ In ^*the beginning God created the Heauen, and the Earth.

²⁴O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

²⁴O LORD, how manifold are thy workes! in wisedome hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

¹⁵He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.

^15*Hee hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauen by his vnderstanding.

⁶By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

^6*By the word of the LORD were the heauens made: and all the host of them, by the breath of his mouth.

¹²He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

^12*Hee hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauens by his discretion.

¹⁹The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

²⁰By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

^19‖The LORD by wisedome hath founded the earth; by vnderstanding hath he established the heauens.

²⁰By his knowledge the depthes are broken vp; and the cloudes droppe downe the dew.

²²The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

²³I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

²⁴When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

²⁵Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

²⁶While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

²⁷When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

²⁸When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

²⁹When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

²²The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

²³I was set vp from euerlasting, from the beginning, or euer the earth was.

²⁴When there were no depthes, I was brought forth: when there were no fountaines abounding with water.

²⁵Before the mountaines were setled: before the hilles, was I brought foorth:

^26‖‖While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

^27‖When hee prepared the heauens, I was there: when he set a compasse vpon the face of the depth.

²⁸When he established the cloudes aboue: when he strengthned the fountaines of the deepe.

^29*When he gaue to the sea his decree, that the waters should not passe his commandement: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

²For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

^2*For he hath founded it vpon the seas, and established it vpon the floods.

⁹¶ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

⁹¶ And God said, ^*Let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered together vnto one place, and let the dry land appeare: and it was so.

¹²He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

^12*Hee hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauens by his discretion.

⁵¶ Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

⁵¶ Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heauens, and stretched them out, he that spread foorth the earth and that which commeth out of it, he that giueth breath vnto the people vpon it, and spirit to them that walke therein:

²⁴Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

²⁴Thus saith the LORD thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the wombe; I am the LORD that maketh all things, that stretcheth forth the heauens alone, that spreadeth abroad the earth by my selfe:

⁷He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

⁷He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.

²Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

³Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

²Who couerest thy selfe with light, as with a garment: who stretchest out the heauens like a curtaine.

³Who layeth the beames of his chambers in the waters, who maketh the cloudes his charet: who walketh vpon the wings of the wind.

¹THE burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

¹¶ The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth foorth the Heauens, and laith the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

⁵For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

⁶Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

⁷But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

⁵For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heauens were of olde, and the earth ^†standing out of the water, and in the water,

⁶Whereby the world that then was, being ouerflowed with water, perished.

⁷But the heauens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserued vnto fire against the day of Iudgement, and perdition of vngodly men.

²²It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

^22‖* It is he that sitteth vpon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grashoppers; that stretcheth out the heauens as a curtaine, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwel in:

¹⁸Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

¹⁸Hast thou with him spread out the skie, which is strong, and as a molten looking glasse?
