At his word the stars were fixed in their places, and he knows the number of the stars.

He searches the abyss and its treasures; he has measured the sea and its contents;
58
he has confined the sea in the midst of the waters; and by his word he has suspended the earth over the water.
59
He has spread out the heaven like a dome and made it secure upon the waters;
60
he has put springs of water in the desert, and pools on the tops of the mountains, so as to send rivers from the heights to water the earth.
