Seas

God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”

Of all the creatures that live in the water, whether in the seas or in the streams, you may eat anything with fins and scales.

But the following among all the teeming life and creatures in the water are detestable to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales.

They will call the peoples to a mountain; there they will offer sacrifices of righteousness. For they will feast on the abundance of the seas and the hidden treasures of the sand.”

You alone are the LORD. You created the heavens, the highest heavens with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to all things, and the host of heaven worships You.

For then it would outweigh the sand of the seas—no wonder my words have been rash.

…the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.

You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.

Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them.

He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the seas.

The floodwaters have risen, O LORD; the rivers have raised their voice; the seas lift up their pounding waves.

The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.

You will be like one sleeping on the high seas or lying on the top of a mast:

Alas, the tumult of many peoples; they rage like the roaring seas and clamoring nations; they rumble like the crashing of mighty waters.

Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders perfected your beauty.

Your oarsmen have brought you onto the high seas, but the east wind will shatter you in the heart of the sea.

Now you are shattered by the seas in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and the people among you have gone down with you.

They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas.

“Son of man, take up a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him: ‘You are like a lion among the nations; you are like a monster in the seas. You thrash about in your rivers, churning up the waters with your feet and muddying the streams.’

For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me.
