God's Creations and Power

God's creations and work are living testimonies of His greatness and power. 

"1  O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. 2  Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 3  When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;...9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!"
Old Testament, Psalms 8:1-3,9


"7 But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. 8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness."
Old Testament, Psalms 9:7-8

"1  The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2  Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3  There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4  Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 5  Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 6  His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."
Old Testament, Psalms 19:1-6

Old Testament, Psalms 29:3-9    see also Doctrine and Covenants 110:3

"5...the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. 6  By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 7  He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. 8  Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9  For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. 14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works."
Old Testament, Psalms 33:5-9,13-15

Selah. 16  The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. 17  The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. 18  The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. 19  Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. 20  Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron."
Old Testament, Psalms 77:14-20 

12  Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. 13  He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. 14  In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 15  He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. 16  He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. 23  Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, 24  And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. 25  Man did eat angels ’ food: he sent them meat to the full. 26  He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. 27  He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: 28  And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. 29  So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;"  44  And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink. 45  He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. 46  He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust. 47  He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost. 48  He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. 49  He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. 50  He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; 51  And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham: 52  But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 53  And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. 54  And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. 55  He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents." 
Old Testament, Psalms 78:12-16, 23-29,43-55

Old Testament, Psalms 93:1-4

Old Testament, Psalms 102:25-28 

"1  Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 2  Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 3  Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: 4  Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: 5  Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. 6  Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. 7  At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 8  They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. 9  Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. 10  He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. 11  They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. 12  By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. 13  He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 14  He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; 15  And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart. 16  The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; 17  Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 18  The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. 19  He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. 20  Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. 21  The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. 22  The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens. 23  Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. 24  O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. 25  So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. 26  There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. 27  These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. 28  That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. 29  Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. 30  Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. 31  The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works. 32  He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke."
Old Testament, Psalms 104:1-32 

"23  They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24  These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. 25  For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 26  They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 27  They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end. 28  Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 29  He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 30  Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven."

Old Testament, Psalms 135:5-7
