In Psalm 33:6-9, the creation of the heavens, the sea, the earth are referred to in order and Psalm 104:2-9 treats of the creation of the heavens, the earth and the sea, singling out that which is especially marvelous in the creation of each. As for the heavens, it is that the beams of heaven’s chambers are laid upon the waters of the heavenly ocean. As for the earth, it is that its foundations are so surely fixed that it is immovable; and as for the sea, it is that its unruly waters should be imprisoned within their bounds and restrained from overflowing the earth.
The Assyrian deity is also credited with the creation of gods and goddesses:
Creator of the gods, begetter of the goddesses.
—Hymn to Asshur.
This creation is probably to be understood in the physical sense, for which there are many parallels in polytheistic religions, but no parallel in the Hebrew hymns. On the other hand the phraseology of the following passages:
King and rulers thou namest,
Since to create gods and kings rests with thee.
—Hymn to Bel No. 3.
Through the mouth may it be proclaimed;
Without interruption may the ear hear it,
