“By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.”
The psalmist describes creation as the product of God's word and the breath of God's mouth. The verse emphasizes that creation arises through divine utterance and the divine breath. The specific mention of the heavens establishes that even the most transcendent dimensions result from God's word. The verb "made" suggests that God acts as maker and craftsman. The verse echoes the creation account in Genesis. The emphasis on speech and breath suggests that creation is not impersonal but the direct result of God's utterance.
