7. 25To whom then will you compare
me,
that I should be like him? says the
Holy One.
26Lift up your eyes on high and see:
who created these?
He who brings out their host by
number,
calling them all by name;
by the greatness of his might
and because he is strong in power,
not one is missing.
27Why do you say, O Jacob,
and speak, O Israel,
Isaiah 40 Isaiah 40
“My way is hidden from the LORD,
and my right is disregarded by my
God”?
28Have you not known? Have you not
heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
29He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he
increases strength.
30Even youths shall faint and be
weary, and young men shall fall
exhausted;

or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand?
Who has gathered the dust of the earth in a measure
or weighed the mountains in a balance
and the hills in the scales?

Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers?
Who else knows the weight of the earth
or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale?
ISAIAH 40:12 NLT
Who has scooped up the ocean
in his two hands,
or measured the sky between his thumb and little finger,
Who has put all the earth’s dirt in one of his baskets,
weighed each mountain and hill?

13. Psalm 19
4Their line has gone out into all the
earth,
And their words to the end of the
world.
In them He has placed a tent for the
sun,
5Which is like a groom coming out of
his chamber;
It rejoices like a strong person to run his
course.
Psalm 19
The Works and the Word of God.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
1The heavens tell of the glory of God;
And their expanse declares the work of His
hands.
2Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
3There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.

14. Praise to the Creator and Preserver.
1Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous
ones;
Praise is becoming to the upright.
2Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a harp of
ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4For the word of the LORD is upright,
And all His work is done in
faithfulness.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
Psalm 36 Psalm 36
The earth is full of the lovingkindness of
the LORD.
6By the word of the LORD the
heavens were made,
And by the breath of His mouth
all their host.
7He gathers the waters of the sea
together as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in
storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD;
Let all the inhabitants of the
world stand in awe of Him.

15. Genesis 1 Genesis 1
6 And God said, “Let there be a vault
between the waters to separate water
from water.” 7 So God made the vault
and separated the water under the
vault from the water above it. And it
was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.”
And there was evening, and there was
morning—the second day.
9 And God said, “Let the water under
the sky be gathered to one place, and
let dry ground appear.” And it was so.
10 God called the dry ground “land,”
and the gathered waters he called
“seas.” And God saw that it was good.
The Creation of the World
1In the beginning, God created the
heavens and the earth. 2The earth was
without form and void, and darkness
was over the face of the deep. And the
Spirit of God was hovering over the face
of the waters.
3And God said, “Let there be light,” and
there was light. 4And God saw that the
light was good. And God separated the
light from the darkness. 5God called the
light Day, and the darkness he called
Night. And there was evening and there
was morning, the first day.

33. How Majestic Is Your Name
To the choirmaster: according to The
Gittith.a A Psalm of David.
1O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the
earth!
You have set your glory above the
heavens.
2Out of the mouth of babies and
infants,
you have established strength
because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
Psalm 8 Psalm 8
3When I look at your heavens, the
work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you
have set in place,
4what is man that you are mindful of
him,
and the son of man that you care for
him?
5Yet you have made him a little lower
than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and
honor.
6You have given him dominion over
the works of your hands;

36. Zacchaeus the Tax Collector
19 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing
through. 2 A man was there by the name
of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector
and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who
Jesus was, but because he was short he
could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran
ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to
see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked
up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come
down immediately. I must stay at your
house today.” 6 So he came down at once
and welcomed him gladly.
Luke 19
7 All the people saw this and began to
mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of
a sinner.”
8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to
the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I
give half of my possessions to the poor,
and if I have cheated anybody out of
anything, I will pay back four times the
amount.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation
has come to this house, because this
man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For
the Son of Man came to seek and to
save the lost.”
Luke 19
