⁶ Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
    look at the earth beneath;
the heavens will vanish like smoke,^(A)
    the earth will wear out like a garment^(B)
    and its inhabitants die like flies.
But my salvation^(C) will last forever,^(D)
    my righteousness will never fail.^(E)

¹¹ The heavens are yours,^(A) and yours also the earth;^(B)
    you founded the world and all that is in it.^(C)
12 You created the north and the south;
    Tabor^(D) and Hermon^(E) sing for joy^(F) at your name.
¹³ Your arm is endowed with power;
    your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.^(G)

⁵ This is what God the Lord says—
the Creator of the heavens,^(A) who stretches them out,
    who spreads out the earth^(B) with all that springs from it,^(C)
    who gives breath^(D) to its people,
    and life to those who walk on it:

⁴ He determines the number of the stars^(A)
    and calls them each by name.

None of these will be missing,^(B)
    not one will lack her mate.
For it is his mouth^(C) that has given the order,^(D)
    and his Spirit will gather them together.
