Psalm 18:1-19

To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said,

18 I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.

The bands of Sheol surrounded me, the cords of death encountered me.

In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.

Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.

And he bowed the heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

10 And he rode upon a cherub and did fly; yea, he flew fast upon the wings of the wind.

11 He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

12 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.

13 And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire.

14 And he sent his arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.

15 And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

16 He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.

18 They encountered me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.

19 And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Job 36:24-33

24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men celebrate.

25 All men look at it; man beholdeth [it] afar off.

26 Lo, God is great, and we comprehend [him] not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

27 For he draweth up the drops of water: they distil in rain from the vapour which he formeth,

28 Which the skies pour down [and] drop upon man abundantly.

29 But can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, [or] the crashing of his pavilion?

30 Lo, he spreadeth his light around him, and covereth the bottom of the sea.

31 For with them he judgeth the peoples; he giveth food in abundance.

32 [His] hands he covereth with lightning, and commandeth it where it is to strike.

33 His thundering declareth concerning him; the cattle even, concerning its coming.

Job 37:14-24

14 Hearken unto this, Job; stand still and discern the wondrous works of God.

15 Dost thou know how +God hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?

16 Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?

17 How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?

18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror?

19 Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order [our words] by reason of darkness.

20 Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man [so] say, surely he shall be swallowed up.

21 And now [men] see not the light as it gleameth, it is [hidden] in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them.

22 From the north cometh gold; with +God is terrible majesty.

23 The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict.

24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

Matthew 8:23-27

23 And he went on board ship and his disciples followed him;

24 and behold, [the water] became very agitated on the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves; but *he* slept.

25 And the disciples came and awoke him, saying, Lord save: we perish.

26 And he says to them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then, having arisen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

27 But the men were astonished, saying, What sort [of man] is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?
