can you help God spread out the skies as hard as a cast metal mirror?

He wraps himself in light as if it were a robe, spreading out the sky like a canopy,

He made the earth by his power, established the world by his wisdom, and spread out the heavens by his understanding.

The heavens were made by the word of the LORD, and all the stars, by the breath of his mouth.

He stretches the northern skies over empty space; he hangs the earth on nothing.He wraps up the water in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst beneath its weight.

For he spoke, and it came into being; he commanded, and it came into existence.

He made the earth by his power, established the world by his wisdom, and spread out the heavens by his understanding.When he thunders, the waters in the heavens are in turmoil, and he causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain and brings the wind from his storehouses.

He made the heavens skillfully. His faithful love endures forever.He spread the land on the waters. His faithful love endures forever.

Then God said,“ Let the water swarm with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.”

A pronouncement: The word of the LORD concerning Israel. A declaration of the LORD, who stretched out the heavens, laid the foundation of the earth, and formed the spirit of man within him.

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the expanse proclaims the work of his hands.

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the sources of the vast watery depths burst open, the floodgates of the sky were opened,and the rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

If the clouds are full, they will pour out rain on the earth; whether a tree falls to the south or the north, the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.

Have you entered the place where the snow is stored? Or have you seen the storehouses of hail,which I hold in reserve for times of trouble, for the day of warfare and battle?What road leads to the place where light is dispersed? Where is the source of the east wind that spreads across the earth?Who cuts a channel for the flooding rain or clears the way for lightning,to bring rain on an uninhabited land, on a desert with no human life,

By his breath the heavens gained their beauty; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

He saturates clouds with moisture; he scatters his lightning through them.

Then God said,“ Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night. They will serve as signs for seasons and for days and years.

Praise him, highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens.

But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God and eternal King. The earth quakes at his wrath, and the nations cannot endure his fury.

Hallelujah! Praise God in his sanctuary. Praise him in his mighty expanse.
