Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Psalm 19: 1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
