26 Then God said, k“Let lus make man1 in our image, after our likeness. And mlet them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
nmale and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. oYou shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw peverything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
3 Know that kthe Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;1
we are his people, and the lsheep of his pasture.
13 For pyou formed my inward parts;
you qknitted me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.1
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in ryour book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. eFear God and keep his commandments, for fthis is the whole duty of man.1
24 Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you.
4 wwhat is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you xcare for him?
5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings1
and crowned him with yglory and honor.
6 zYou have given him dominion over athe works of your hands;
byou have put all things under his feet,
