It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,This verse begins to give an idea of the scale between God and us. It's not the true scale, because there is no such thing, but it gives us something to start from. How little do grasshoppers appear to us? We may notice them, but they aren't usually a worry.
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
Also, He is the one who created this world, and everything we observe. To him, they are a small place to inhabit, and His domain extends well beyond them. Still, they give us somewhere to exist, and that pleases Him. But none of it is necessary for Him.
