Psalms 93:3-4
93:3 The waves roar, O Lord,
the waves roar,
the waves roar and crash.
93:4 Above the sound of the surging water,
and the mighty waves of the sea,
the Lord sits enthroned in majesty.
Psalms 107:23-30
107:23 Some traveled on the sea in ships,
and carried cargo over the vast waters.
107:24 They witnessed the acts of the Lord,
his amazing feats on the deep water.
107:25 He gave the order for a windstorm,
and it stirred up the waves of the sea.
107:26 They reached up to the sky,
then dropped into the depths.
The sailors’ strength left them because the danger was so great.
107:27 They swayed and staggered like a drunk,
and all their skill proved ineffective.
107:28 They cried out to the Lord in their distress;
he delivered them from their troubles.
107:29 He calmed the storm,
and the waves grew silent.
107:30 The sailors rejoiced because the waves grew quiet,
and he led them to the harbor they desired.
Psalms 124:2-4
124:2 if the Lord had not been on our side,
when men attacked us,
124:3 they would have swallowed us alive,
when their anger raged against us.
124:4 The water would have overpowered us;
the current would have overwhelmed us.
Psalms 148:8
148:8 O fire and hail, snow and clouds,
O stormy wind that carries out his orders,
Isaiah 54:11
54:11 “O afflicted one, driven away, and unconsoled!
Look, I am about to set your stones in antimony
and I lay your foundation with lapis-lazuli.
Acts 27:14-20
27:14 Not long after this, a hurricane-force
wind called the northeaster
blew down from the island.
27:15 When the ship was caught in it
and could not head into
the wind, we gave way to it and were driven
along.
27:16 As we ran under the lee of
a small island called Cauda,
we were able with difficulty to get the ship’s boat
under control.
27:17 After the crew
had hoisted it aboard,
they used supports
to undergird the ship. Fearing they would run aground
on the Syrtis,
they lowered the sea anchor,
thus letting themselves be driven along.
27:18 The next day, because we were violently battered by the storm,
they began throwing the cargo overboard,
27:19 and on the third day they threw the ship’s gear
overboard with their own hands.
27:20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and a violent
storm continued to batter us,
we finally abandoned all hope of being saved.
