Psalms 33:6

6 By the Lord’s decree ^{▼▼ Heb “word.”} the heavens were made;
by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created. ^{▼▼ Heb “and by the breath of his mouth all their host.” The words “were created” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons; they are understood by ellipsis (note “were made” in the preceding line). The description is consistent with Gen 1:16, which indicates that God spoke the heavenly luminaries into existence.}
