Psalms 8:3

Context

8:3 When I look up at the heavens, which your fingers made,

and see the moon and the stars, which you set in place, 1 

Psalms 33:6

Context

33:6 By the Lord’s decree 2  the heavens were made;

by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created. 3 

1 tn Heb “when I see your heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and stars which you established.” The verb “[and] see” is understood by ellipsis in the second half of the verse.

2 tn Heb “word.”

3 tn Heb “and by the breath of his mouth all their host.” The words “were created” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons; they are understood by ellipsis (note “were made” in the preceding line). The description is consistent with Gen 1:16, which indicates that God spoke the heavenly luminaries into existence.
