4 The Lord’S word is true, and he is faithful in everything he does.
5 He loves goodness and justice. The Lord’S faithful love fills the earth.
6 The Lord spoke the command, and the world was made. The breath from his mouth created everything in the heavens.
7 He gathered together the water of the sea. He put the ocean in its place.
8 Everyone on earth should fear and respect the Lord. All the people in the world should fear him,
9 because when he speaks, things happen. And if he says, “Stop!”—then it stops.
10 The Lord can ruin every decision the nations make. He can spoil all their plans.
