Psalms 46:1-3

God Is Our Fortress

To the choirmaster. Of ^dthe Sons of Korah. According to ^eAlamoth. ^{▼▼Probably a musical or liturgical term} A Song.

1 God is our ^grefuge and strength,
a very ^hpresent ^{▼▼Or well proved} help in ^jtrouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear ^kthough the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into ^lthe heart of the sea,
3 though ^mits waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

Psalms 65:6-7

6 the one who by his strength established the mountains,
being ⁿgirded with might;
7 who ^ostills the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
^pthe tumult of the peoples,

Psalms 93:3-4

3 ^qThe floods have lifted up, O Lord,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their roaring.
4 Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
mightier than the waves of the sea,
^rthe Lord ^son high is mighty!

Isaiah 5:26-30

26 He will ^traise a signal for nations far away,
and ^uwhistle for them ^vfrom the ends of the earth;
and behold, quickly, speedily they come!
27 ^wNone is weary, none stumbles,
none slumbers or sleeps,
not a waistband is loose,
not a sandal strap broken;
28 ^xtheir arrows are sharp,
all their bows bent,
their horses’ hoofs seem like flint,
and their wheels ^ylike the whirlwind.
29 Their roaring is like a lion,
like young lions they roar;
they growl and ^zseize their prey;
they carry it off, and none can rescue.
30 They will growl over it on that day,
like the growling of the sea.
And if one looks to the land,
behold, ^aadarkness and distress;
and the light is darkened by its clouds.

Isaiah 8:7-8

7 therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up against them ^abthe waters of ^acthe River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. And it ^adwill rise over all its channels and go over all its banks, 8 and it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass on, ^aereaching even to the neck, and its ^afoutspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, ^agO Immanuel.”

Isaiah 28:17

17 And I will make justice ^ahthe line,
and righteousness ^aithe plumb line;
and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
and waters will overwhelm the shelter.”

Jeremiah 6:23

23 They lay hold on bow and javelin;
they are ^ajcruel and have no mercy;
^akthe sound of them is like the roaring sea;
they ride on horses,
set in array as a man for battle,
against you, O daughter of Zion!”
