1 The earth *24:1 The ancient rabbis taught that since the earth and everything it contains belongs to the Lord, it is sacrilege to enjoy anything of the world without first saying a benediction for it.is the Lord’s, and the fullness of it,

The world, and those who dwell in it. [1 Cor 10:26]

2 For He has founded it upon the seas

And established it upon the streams and the rivers.
