I’m kind of intrigued by ‘and for thy pleasure they are and were created’.
One clear implication is that God is continually unhappy unless he constantly creates things. That’s fine as far as it goes - I’m a maker myself and I enjoy it. But considering that the chief things created by God are human beings, with all that attendant misery and suffering, it seems that God gets his jollies by causing pain.
I’m no psycherologist, but I think the term for that is ‘sadistic psychosis’.
