They reached up to the sky, then dropped into the depths. The sailors’ strength left them because the danger was so great.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown. God gives a shout, the earth dissolves.

You saturate its furrows, and soak its plowed ground. With rain showers you soften its soil, and make its crops grow.

When the earth and all its inhabitants dissolve in fear, I make its pillars secure.” (Selah)
