The earth is full of the loving kindness of the Lord. Verse 6 By the Lord's word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth. Verse 7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses. Verse 8 Let all the earth fear the Lord. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
