Psalms 78:23

78:23 He gave a command to the clouds above,

and opened the doors in the sky.

Psalms 107:16

107:16 For he shattered the bronze gates,

and hacked through the iron bars.

Psalms 141:3

141:3 O Lord, place a guard on my mouth!

Protect the opening of my lips!


sn The language of v. 16 recalls Isa 45:2.

tn Heb “door.” The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.

sn My mouth…my lips. The psalmist asks God to protect him from speaking inappropriately or sinfully.
