Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

The LORD who made heaven and earth Bless you from Zion!

Whatever the LORD pleases He does, In heaven and in earth, In the seas and in all deep places.

Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven! For His mercy endures forever.

If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever,

Let them praise the name of the LORD, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.

Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.

Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name, If you know?

And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised.

I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.

To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.

They come from a far country, From the end of heaven-- The LORD and His weapons of indignation, To destroy the whole land.

For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine.

"How you are fallen from heaven,O Lucifer, [fn] son of the morning!How you are cut down to the ground,You who weakened the nations!

For you have said in your heart: "I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north;

All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; All their host shall fall down As the leaf falls from the vine, And as fruit falling from a fig tree.

"For My sword shall be bathed in heaven; Indeed it shall come down on Edom, And on the people of My curse, for judgment.

"O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
