“He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great.”
The heavens are the LORD's heavens, but the earth he has given to humankind. The asymmetry is marked: heaven remains exclusively God's domain, while earth is 'given to humankind.' The gift-language suggests divine generosity in granting human stewardship. This verse establishes the theology of creation-stewardship.
