I am the Lord,
    the Maker of all things,
    who stretches out the heavens,^(D)
    who spreads out the earth^(E) by myself,

¹² It is I who made the earth^(A)
    and created mankind on it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;^(B)
    I marshaled their starry hosts.^(C)

⁶ he builds his lofty palace^[a](A) in the heavens
    and sets its foundation^[b] on the earth;
he calls for the waters of the sea
    and pours them out over the face of the land—
    the Lord is his name.^(B)
