93 Jehovah reigneth, he hath clothed himself with majesty: Jehovah hath clothed himself, he hath girded himself with strength; yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved.

² Thy throne is established of old; thou art from eternity.

³ The floods lifted up, O Jehovah, the floods lifted up their voice; the floods lifted up their roaring waves.

⁴ Jehovah on high is mightier than the voices of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea.

⁵ Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for ever.

⁸ And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

⁹ And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

¹⁰ and with every living soul which is with you, fowl as well as cattle, and all the animals of the earth with you, of all that has gone out of the ark—every animal of the earth.

¹¹ And I establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood, and henceforth there shall be no flood to destroy the earth.

¹² And God said, This is the sign of the covenant that I set between me and you and every living soul that is with you, for everlasting generations:

¹³ I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

¹⁴ And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,

¹⁵ and I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living soul of all flesh; and the waters shall not henceforth become a flood to destroy all flesh.

¹⁶ And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living soul of all flesh that is upon the earth.

¹⁷ And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

³⁹ And when it was day they did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore;

⁴⁰ and, having cast off the anchors, they left [them] in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand.

⁴¹ And falling into a place where two seas met they ran the ship aground, and the prow having stuck itself fast remained unmoved, but the stern was broken by the force of the waves.

⁴² And [the] counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off and escape.

⁴³ But the centurion, desirous of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first [into the sea], to get out on land;

⁴⁴ and the rest, some on boards, some on some of the things [that came] from the ship; and thus it came to pass that all got safe to land.
