Charnock: The whole creation is a poem ...

Here's a quote I really like on creation from The Existence and Attributes of God by Stephen Charnock in his chapter in God's Wisdom. He is a Puritan, so to make it easier for you, I defined one of the technical terms and copied in some of the verses to make reading the quote easier.

The "Targum" is basically an Aramaic paraphrase of the Hebrew bible used in 100 BCE.

Romans 1:20
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

Proverbs 3:19
The LORD by wisdom founded the earth;
         by understanding he established the heavens;

Psalm 104:24
O LORD, how manifold are your works!
          In wisdom have you made them all;
          the earth is full of your creatures.

Jeremiah 10:12
It is he who made the earth by his power,
          who established the world by his wisdom, 
          and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.

Stephen Charnock
What we translate, Gen. i. 1, 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth,' the Targum expresseth, ' In the wisdom God created the heaven and the earth;' both bear a stamp of this perfection on them.* And when the apostle tells the Romans, chap. i. 20, ' The invisible things of God were clearly understood by the things that are made,' the word he uses is, ποίημα, not  ἔργοις ; this signifies a work of labour, but ποίημα a work of skill, or a poem. The whole creation is a poem, every species a stanza, and every individual creature a verse in it. The creation presents us with a prospect of the wisdom of God, as a poem doth the reader with the wit and fancy of the composer: ' By wisdom he created the earth,' Prov. iii. 19;' and stretched out the heavens by discretion,' Jer. x. 12. There is not anything so mean, so small, but glitters with a beam of divine skill; and the consideration of them would justly make every man subscribe to that of the psalmist,' O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all,' Ps. civ. 24 ;—all, the least as well as the greatest, and the meanest as well as the noblest, even those creatures which seem ugly and deformed to us, as toads, &c., because they fall short of those perfections which are the dowry of other animals. In these there is a footstep of divine wisdom, since they were not produced by him at random, but determined to some particular end, and designed to some usefulness, as parts of the world in their several natures and stations. God could never have had a satisfaction in the review of his works, and pronounced them good or comely, as he did, Gen. i. 31, had they not been agreeable to that eternal original copy in his own mind.
