26. Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these [things], that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that [he is] strong in power; not one faileth. 27. Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? 28. Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding. 29. He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength.

Theological / Devotional

Lift up your eyes. If men will but lift their vision heavenward, it is their privilege to behold undeniable evidence of the Creator and Sustainer of all things (see Ps. 19:1-3; Acts 14:17; Rom. 1:19-23). He sits, as it were, above all the starry host of heaven, governing the universe He has created. As we contemplate the number of the stars, their orderly arrangement, their glory and beauty, we cannot but be impressed with our own insignificance and the transcendent power of God. All the heavenly bodies pursue their assigned paths; each has its name and place, and each has its role in the great procession of space.

Faileth. That is, “is lacking,” or “is missing.”
