Creation of Angels

What does the Bible says about the creation of angels? Well, the Bible said nothing. However, we can infer from the following verses that angels were created during the 6-day creation, probably when God created the heavens, and they witnessed the creation of the earth.

Angels were created when God created the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1 NASB, HCSB, NET)
You alone are Yahweh. You created the heavens, the highest heavens with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to all of them, and the heavenly host worships You. (Nehemiah 9:6 HCSB)

Angels witnessed the creation.
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Job 38:4-7 KJV
