“Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.”
Lift up your eyes on high and see: who has created these stars, he who brings out their host by number, he calls them all by name; because of the greatness of his might and the strength of his power, not one of them is missing, establishing that God's creation and maintenance of the stars demonstrate God's incomparable power and care. The oracle appeals to the observation of the stars as evidence of divine power and the comprehensive knowledge of creation. The assertion that not one star is missing emphasizes divine attentiveness and control.
