'Laid the Foundation' in the Bible

And there he built his temple on high, and laid the foundation of it like the ground, that it might perpetually endure.

The heavens are thine. The earth also is thine; thou hast laid the foundation of the round world and all that therein is.

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another; thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.
