(Psa 148:1-7) Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his
hosts. Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of
heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he
commanded, and they were created. He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and
flying fowl:

Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament,
and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above
the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and
the morning were the second day. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be
gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God
called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he
Seas: and God saw that it was good.

LORD might be shewed them. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon
his head, and let all the congregation stone him. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. And he that blasphemeth
the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as
he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall
be put to death.
