Power

I have power to do you great harm, but last night the God of your father said to me, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’

Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in honor, excelling in power.

Then a new king, who did not know Joseph, came to power in Egypt.

The LORD instructed Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders that I have put within your power. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.

But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power to you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.

When Israel saw the great power that the LORD had exercised over the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and believed in Him and in His servant Moses.

Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power; Your right hand, O LORD, has shattered the enemy.

…and terror and dread will fall on them. By the power of Your arm they will be as still as a stone until Your people pass by, O LORD, until the people You have bought pass by.

But Moses sought the favor of the LORD his God, saying, “O LORD, why does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?

So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:

“O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can perform such works and mighty acts as Yours?

Because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants after them and brought you out of Egypt by His presence and great power,

You might say in your heart, “The power and strength of my hands have made this wealth for me.”

But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers even to this day.

But they are Your people, Your inheritance, whom You brought out by Your great power and outstretched arm.”

Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, while your eyes grow weary looking for them day after day, with no power in your hand.

…and no prophet who performed all the mighty acts of power and awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.

Once again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. So He gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered. He will thunder from heaven against them. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth and will give power to His king. He will exalt the horn of His anointed.”

So the LORD gave Israel a deliverer, and they escaped the power of the Arameans. Then the people of Israel lived in their own homes as they had before.

Instead, worship the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm. You are to bow down to Him and offer sacrifices to Him.

Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power, are dismayed and ashamed. They are like plants in the field, tender green shoots, grass on the rooftops, scorched before it is grown.

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.

Both riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler over all. In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all.

After Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he and all Israel with him forsook the Law of the LORD.

Jeroboam did not again recover his power during the days of Abijah, and the LORD struck him down and he died.

…and said, “O LORD, God of our fathers, are You not the God who is in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand, and no one can stand against You.

Even if you go and fight bravely in battle, God will overthrow you before the enemy, for God has power to help and power to overthrow.”

Even if you go and fight bravely in battle, God will overthrow you before the enemy, for God has power to help and power to overthrow.”

Moreover, the power of God was on the people in Judah to give them one heart to obey the command of the king and his officials according to the word of the LORD.

Those who escaped the sword were carried by Nebuchadnezzar into exile in Babylon, and they became servants to him and his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to power.

They are Your servants and Your people. You redeemed them by Your great power and mighty hand.

For Mordecai exercised great power in the palace, and his fame spread throughout the provinces as he became more and more powerful.

Should I hold my head high, You would hunt me like a lion, and again display Your power against me.

True wisdom and power belong to Him. The deceived and the deceiver are His.

Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power?

Would He contend with me in His great power? No, He would certainly take note of me.

Yet by His power, God drags away the mighty; though rising up, they have no assurance of life.

By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.

Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”

I will instruct you in the power of God. I will not conceal the ways of the Almighty.

It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.

Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?

The Almighty is beyond our reach; He is exalted in power! In His justice and great righteousness He does not oppress.

See the strength of his loins and the power in the muscles of his belly.

I cannot keep silent about his limbs, his power and graceful form.

Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.

Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of wild dogs.

…the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned under judgment.

Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,

So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.

You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.

Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.

He rules forever by His power; His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

Summon Your power, O God; show Your strength, O God, which You have exerted on our behalf.

Ascribe the power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose strength is in the skies.

O God, You are awesome in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!

Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.

With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

They did not remember His power—the day He redeemed them from the adversary,

…before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Rally Your mighty power and come to save us.

What man can live and never see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due.

Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known.

He has shown His people the power of His works by giving them the inheritance of the nations.

They will proclaim the power of Your awesome deeds, and I will declare Your greatness.

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.

Do not withhold good from the deserving when it is within your power to act.

Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

When the wicked come to power, people hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous flourish.

…the rock badgers are creatures of little power, yet they make their homes in the rocks;

Again I looked, and I considered all the oppression taking place under the sun. I saw the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; the power lay in the hands of their oppressors, and there was no comforter.

As no man has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has authority over his day of death. As no one can be discharged in wartime, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.

Behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts will lop off the branches with terrifying power. The tall trees will be cut down, the lofty ones will be felled.

Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power, are dismayed and ashamed. They are like plants in the field, tender green shoots, grass on the rooftops, scorched before it is grown.

Lift up your eyes on high: Who created all these? He leads forth the starry host by number; He calls each one by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak.

Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There will be no coals to warm them or fire to sit beside.

There is none like You, O LORD. You are great, and Your name is mighty in power.

The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

“Therefore behold, I will inform them, and this time I will make them know My power and My might; then they will know that My name is the LORD.

Therefore, hand their children over to famine; pour out the power of the sword upon them. Let their wives become childless and widowed; let their husbands be slain by disease, their young men struck down by the sword in battle.

For the land is full of adulterers—because of the curse, the land mourns and the pastures of the wilderness have dried up—their course is evil and their power is misused.

By My great power and outstretched arm, I made the earth and the men and beasts on the face of it, and I give it to whom I please.

“Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!

The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

See how every prince of Israel within you has used his power to shed blood.

Tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I am about to desecrate My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and the delight of your soul. And the sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword.’

…and declared: “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him.

To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, because You have given me wisdom and power. And now You have made known to me what we have requested, for You have made known to us the dream of the king.”

You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given sovereignty, power, strength, and glory.

…the king exclaimed, “Is this not Babylon the Great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?”

He delivers and rescues; He performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth, for He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”

I saw the ram charging toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against him, and there was no deliverance from his power. He did as he pleased and became great.

He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed at him with furious power.

I saw him approach the ram in a rage against him, and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against him, and the goat threw him to the ground and trampled him, and no one could deliver the ram from his power.

Thus the goat became very great, but at the height of his power, his large horn was broken off, and four prominent horns came up in its place, pointing toward the four winds of heaven.
