5 He skillfully made* the heavens,+

For his loyal love endures forever.

22 There is One who dwells above the circle* of the earth,+

And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers.

He is stretching out the heavens like a fine gauze,

And he spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.+

12 He is the Maker of the earth by his power,

The One who established the productive land by his wisdom+

And who stretched out the heavens by his understanding.+

13 When he makes his voice heard,

The waters in the heavens are in turmoil,+

And he causes clouds* to ascend from the ends of the earth.+

He makes lightning for* the rain,

And he brings the wind out of his storehouses.+

Every metalworker will be put to shame because of the carved image;+

For his metal image* is a falsehood,

And there is no spirit* in them.+

16 The Share of Jacob is not like these things,

For he is the One who formed everything,

And Israel is the staff of his inheritance.+
