You alone are the LORD. You created the heavens, the highest heavens with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to all things, and the host of heaven worships You.

“Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”

Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil.”

“Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”

Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.”

…with kings and counselors of the earth, who built for themselves cities now in ruins,

He shakes the earth from its place, so that its foundations tremble.

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?

Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.

…that it might spread to the ends of the earth and shake the wicked out of it?

The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its hills stand out like the folds of a garment.

Have you surveyed the extent of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this.

In which direction is the lightning dispersed, or the east wind scattered over the earth?

The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:

Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.

For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him—even those unable to preserve their lives.

A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell therein.

The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.

Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.

From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.

But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth.

For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation upon the earth.

He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire.

Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.

He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.

No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.

Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”

Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah

From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.

With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.

You attend to the earth and water it; with abundance You enrich it. The streams of God are full of water, for You prepare our grain by providing for the earth.

God blesses us, that all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

…the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain before God, the One on Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord—Selah

Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them.

Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.

May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.

May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.

And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.
