Psalm 19:1 (ESV) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Psalm 102:25 (ESV) Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
In the opening sentences of the Bible, God spoke a world of energy and matter into being—light, moon, stars, earth, vegetation, fish, birds, man, woman,—not love and virtue, faith and salvation, hope and judgment, though they will come soon enough. The opening lines of Genesis sound more like minutes copied out of a physics laboratory than in a prayer meeting. But in the Psalms physics and prayer occupy the same space.—Eugene Peterson in Answering God. Christianity Today, Vol. 35, no. 135.
