Canopy of the Heavens

{The view out my airplane window as we emerged from the clouds}

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,

or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?  

Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,

or weighed the mountains on the scales

and the hills in a balance?

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,

and its people are like grasshoppers.

He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,

and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

(Isaiah 40:12, 22)
