So as I was reading this passage I thought the structure was pretty cool.
It sets up God's dominion over nature and then juxtaposes this with Him as our Shepherd, gathering us in His arms and carrying us close to His heart.
On reading verse 12 my thoughts were: The same hands that marked the heavens with its breadth...holds me close to Him :') isn't that amazing?
Passage then establishes God's Sovereignty over everything, how everything we know on Earth cannot compare to Him at all. God is put next to the idols and worldly powers of His people almost saying like: "LOOK HOW MUCH BETTER HE IS. LOOOOOOOOOK!" Lastly, the passage brings it back to our personal relationship with God:
"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but hose who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
