¹ Thus were finished the heavens and the earth, and all their host. ² And God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. ³ And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because thereon he had rested from all his work which God had created in making it. ⁴ These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, on the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven. ⁵ And every plant of the field was not yet on the earth, and every herb of the field had not yet grown; for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and man was not yet there to till the ground. ⁶ But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. ⁷ And the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being. ⁸ And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden to the eastward, and he put there the man whom he had formed. ⁹ And the Lord God caused to grow out of the ground every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food; and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. ¹⁰ And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it was parted, and became four principal streams. ¹¹ The name of the first is Pishon, the same which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. ¹² And the gold of that land is good; there is the bdellium and the onyx stone. ¹³ And the name of the second river is Gihon, the same which compasseth the whole land of Cush. ¹⁴ And the name of the third river is Hiddekel, the same which floweth towards the east of Assyria; and the fourth river is the Euphrates. ¹⁵ And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it, and to keep it. ¹⁶ And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat; ¹⁷ But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for on the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. ¹⁸ And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help suitable for him. ¹⁹ And the Lord God had formed out of the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heaven, and he brought them unto the man to see what he would call them; and whatsoever the man would call every living creature, that should be its name. ²⁰ And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heaven, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found a help suitable for him. ²¹ And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof. ²² And the Lord God formed the rib which he had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her unto the man. ²³ And the man said, This time it is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; this shall be called Woman, [Ishah,] because out of Man [Ishi] was this one taken. ²⁴ Therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they become one flesh. ²⁵ And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and they shall have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. ²⁷ And God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. ²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

¹ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. ² And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God was waving over the face of the waters. ³ And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. ⁴ And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness. ⁵ And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And it was evening and it was morning, the first day. ⁶ And God said, Let there be an expansion in the midst of the waters, and let it divide between waters and waters. ⁷ And God made the expansion, and divided between the waters which were under the expansion and the waters which were above the expansion: and it was so. ⁸ And God called the expansion Heaven. And it was evening and it was morning, the second day. ⁹ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land be visible: and it was so. ¹⁰ And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas: and God saw that it was good. ¹¹ And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, herbs yielding seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, in which its seed is upon the earth: and it was so. ¹² And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees yielding fruit, in which its seed is after their kind: and God saw that it was good. ¹³ And it was evening and it was morning, the third day. ¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lights in the expansion of the heaven to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years; ¹⁵ And let them be for lights in the expansion of the heaven, to give light upon the earth: and it was so. ¹⁶ And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; and the stars. ¹⁷ And God set them in the expansion of the heaven to give light upon the earth, ¹⁸ And to rule by day and by night, and to divide between the light and the darkness: and God saw that it was good. ¹⁹ And it was evening and it was morning, the fourth day. ²⁰ And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly moving creatures that have life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open expansion of the heaven. ²¹ And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind: and God saw that it was good. ²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply on the earth. ²³ And it was evening and it was morning, the fifth day. ²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so. ²⁵ And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind: and God saw that it was good. ²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and they shall have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. ²⁷ And God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. ²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. ²⁹ And God said, Behold I have given unto you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree on which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food. ³⁰ And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heaven, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so. ³¹ And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And it was evening and it was morning, the sixth day.

¹ Of David a psalm. Unto the Lord belongeth the earth with what filleth it, the world and they that dwell therein;

¹⁴ I will thank thee therefore, that I am so fearfully and wonderfully made: wonderful are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

¹ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

² In pastures of tender grass he causeth me to lie down: beside still waters he leadeth me. ³ My soul he refresheth: he guideth me in the tracks of righteousness for the sake of his name.

⁷ Yet, do only ask of the beasts, and they will instruct thee; and the fowls of the heavens, and they will tell it thee; ⁸ Or speak to the earth, and she will instruct thee; and the fishes of the sea will inform thee ⁹ Who knoweth not through all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?

²⁶ Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these? he that bringeth out their host by number; that calleth them all by name; from the Mighty One not one escapeth.

² Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shineth forth.

¹¹ Every thing hath he made beautiful in its proper time: he hath also placed the eternity in their heart, without a man’s being able to find out the work that God hath made from the beginning to the end.

¹ Bless, O my soul, the Lord. O Lord my God, thou art very great; with glory and majesty art thou clothed. ² Thou art he who wrappeth himself in light as with a garment; who stretcheth out the heavens like a curtain; ³ Who frameth of the waters the beams of his upper-chambers; who maketh the clouds his chariot; who walketh along upon the wings of the wind: ⁴ Who maketh the winds his messengers; the flaming fire his ministers; ⁵ Who hath founded the earth upon her bases, that she should not be moved to all eternity. ⁶ Thou hadst covered the deep as with a garment: above the mountains stood the waters. ⁷ At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hastened away. ⁸ They ascended mountains; they went down valleys, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them. ⁹ Bounds hast thou set which they cannot pass over, that they return not again to cover the earth. ¹⁰ Thou art he who sendeth springs into the valleys, between mountains they run along. ¹¹ They give drink to all the beasts of the field: the wild asses quench thereon their thirst. ¹² By them have the fowls of the heaven ever their habitation, from between the branches they send forth their voice. ¹³ Who watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: from the fruit of thy works is the earth satisfied. ¹⁴ Thou art he who causeth grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs by the service of man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth; ¹⁵ And wine that maketh joyful the heart of man, and oil to brighten his face, and bread which strengtheneth the heart of man. ¹⁶ Full of sap are the trees of the Lord, the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted; ¹⁷ Where the birds make their nests: the stork—fir-trees are her house. ¹⁸ The high mountains are for the wild goats: the rocks are a shelter for the conies. ¹⁹ He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. ²⁰ Thou causest darkness, and it becometh night, wherein creep forth all the beasts of the forest. ²¹ The young lions roar after their prey, and ask from God their food. ²² The sun ariseth, they withdraw to their lairs, and lie down in their dens. ²³ Man goeth then forth unto his work, and to his labor until the evening. ²⁴ How manifold are thy works, O Lord! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. ²⁵ Here is this great and wide-extended sea; therein are moving things without number, living creatures both small and great. ²⁶ There the ships make their way: there also is the leviathan, whom thou hast made to sport therein. ²⁷ All of these wait upon thee, to give them their food in its due season. ²⁸ What thou givest them they gather: thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good. ²⁹ Thou hidest thy face, they suddenly vanish: thou takest away their spirit, they perish, and to their dust they return. ³⁰ Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth. ³¹ The glory of the Lord will endure for ever; the Lord will rejoice in his works: ³² He who looketh down on the earth, and she trembleth; who toucheth the mountains, and they smoke. ³³ I will sing unto the Lord while I live: I will sing praises to my God while I exist. ³⁴ May my speech be agreeable to him: I will indeed rejoice in the Lord. ³⁵ May the sinners cease from off the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless, O my soul, the Lord. Hallelujah.

⁵ He loveth righteousness and justice: the earth is full of the kindness of the Lord.

³¹ And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And it was evening and it was morning, the sixth day.

¹ To the chief musician, a psalm of David. ^(19:2) The heavens relate the glory of God; and the expanse telleth of the works of his hands.
