"On what were its (the earth's) footings set, or who laid its cornerstone--while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?"
On what were its footings set
Proverbs 8:22-26 "The LORD brought me (wisdom) forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old; I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be. When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water; before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, before he made the world or its fields or any of the dust of the earth."
or who laid its cornerstone
Job 26:7 "He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing."
while the morning stars
Genesis 1:16-18 God made two great lights--the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
