Deuteronomy 10:14

Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, are the Lord's
thy God
Made and possessed by him; the airy and starry heaven, the third heaven, which is the heaven of heavens, the seat of the divine Majesty, the habitation of angels and glorified saints:

the earth [also], with all that therein is;
that is his property, and at his disposal, being made by him, and all that is upon it, or contained in it, even whatsoever is on or in the whole terraqueous globe; see ( Psalms 115:15 Psalms 115:16 ) .
