Works
'Works,' as in Revelation 16:11, signify falsities of faith, and the resulting evils of life.
In Revelation, 'I know thy works,' is said frequently. This makes it clear that 'works' signify, generally, every aspect of the church.
'Works,' as in Genesis 46:33, denote goods, because they are from the will, and anything from the will is either good or evil, but anything from the understanding, like spoken words, are either truths or falsities.
In Genesis 2:2, the work signifies the celestial man, the highest use of God; or the accomplishment when the spiritual man becomes celestial. (Arcana Coelestia 84, 88)
In Exodus 5:9, work signifies assault for the purpose of subjugation. (Arcana Coelestia 7120)
In Genesis 39:11, it signifies the process when the Lord was conjoining Himself with spiritual good in the natural. (Arcana Coelestia 5004)
In Genesis 47:3; Psalms 8:3; 44:1; 63:12, works concern offices and uses which are done for the neighbor, the country, the church, and the Lord's kingdom.
In Exodus 5:4, work signifies that the people were not to be exempted from things that were hard to bear. (Arcana Coelestia 6073, Arcana Coelestia 7104)
In Revelation 2:2, works signify that the Lord sees man's exterior as well as his interior things. (Apocalypse Revealed 76)
In Revelation 2:6, it signifies that people do not want to claim personal merit. (Apocalypse Revealed 86)
In Revelation 2:19, 23, 26, it signifies all things of charity and faith. (Apocalypse Revealed 138, 141)
In Revelation 9:20, it signifies that they did not shun as sins their own things, which are evils of every kind. (Apocalypse Revealed 457)

Psalms 8
1
Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens!
2
From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
4
what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
5
For you have made him a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and honor.
6
You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
7
All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,
8
The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9
Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Death of the Son." A Psalm by David.
