God: Power of

The LORD is a warrior, the LORD is His name.

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

But You blew with Your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. …

The LORD answered Moses, “Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass.”

I have indeed received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot change it.

“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?

Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.

Know this day that it is not your children who have known and seen the discipline of the LORD your God: His greatness, His mighty hand, and His outstretched arm;

See now that I am He; there is no God besides Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand.

He did this so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the LORD is mighty, and so that you may always fear the LORD your God.”

The LORD brings death and gives life; He brings down to Sheol and raises up. …

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.”

Jonathan said to the young man bearing his armor, “Come, let us cross over to the outpost of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will work on our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.”

From the brightness of His presence coals of fire blazed forth.

The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

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.

Then Asa cried out to the LORD his God: “O LORD, there is no one besides You to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on You, and in Your name we have come against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God. Do not let a mere mortal prevail against You.”

For the eyes of the LORD roam to and fro over all the earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully devoted to Him. You have acted foolishly in this matter. From now on, therefore, you will be at war.”

…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.”

Amaziah asked the man of God, “What should I do about the hundred talents I have given to the troops of Israel?” And the man of God replied, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”

For I was ashamed to ask the king for an escort of soldiers and horsemen to protect us from our enemies on the road, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek Him, but His great anger is against all who forsake Him.”

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

…the One who does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number.

God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has resisted Him and prospered? …

He does great things beyond searching out, and wonders without number.

If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’

God does not restrain His anger; the helpers of Rahab cower beneath Him.

If it is a matter of strength, He is indeed mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?

…though You know that I am not guilty, and there is no deliverance from Your hand?

If He comes along to imprison you, or convenes a court, who can stop Him?

What He tears down cannot be rebuilt; the man He imprisons cannot be released. …

You forever overpower him, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.

But He is unchangeable, and who can oppose Him? He does what He desires.

For He carries out His decree against me, and He has many such plans.

The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.

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?”

If He were to set His heart to it and withdraw His Spirit and breath,

…all flesh would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.

Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

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

For He draws up drops of water which distill the rain from the mist, …

“At this my heart also pounds and leaps from its place. …

Who enclosed the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb,

…and I declared: ‘You may come this far, but no farther; here your proud waves must stop’?

Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Or who can tilt the water jars of the heavens

Do you have an arm like God’s? Can you thunder with a voice like His?

No one is so fierce as to rouse Leviathan. Then who is able to stand against Me?

Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.

“I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.

Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:

For the choirmaster. Of David the servant of the LORD, who sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love You, O LORD, my strength.

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

The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters. …

For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.

Nations rage, kingdoms crumble; the earth melts when He lifts His voice.

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

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

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

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

…to Him who rides upon the highest heavens of old; behold, His mighty voice resounds. …

You divided the sea by Your strength; You smashed the heads of the dragons of the sea;

You broke open the fountain and the flood; You dried up the ever-flowing rivers.

At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.

You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.

The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.

Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.

He worked wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan. …

He stirred the east wind from the heavens and drove the south wind by His might.

…when He performed His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the fields of Zoan. …

May the groans of the captives reach You; by the strength of Your arm preserve those condemned to death.

O LORD God of Hosts, who is like You? O mighty LORD, Your faithfulness surrounds You.

You rule the raging sea; when its waves mount up, You still them.

Mighty is Your arm; strong is Your hand. Your right hand is exalted.

You return man to dust, saying, “Return, O sons of mortals.”

The LORD reigns! He is robed in majesty; the LORD has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved.

Above the roar of many waters—the mighty breakers of the sea—the LORD on high is majestic.

Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side. …

At Your rebuke the waters fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away—

You set a boundary they cannot cross, that they may never again cover the earth.

When You hide Your face, they are terrified; when You take away their breath, they die and return to dust.

When You send Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth.

He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder.

Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.

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

For He spoke and raised a tempest that lifted the waves of the sea.

He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed.

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

The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back; …

Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.

The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD performs with valor!”

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

He struck down the firstborn of Egypt His loving devotion endures forever. …

Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

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

You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

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

He spreads the snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;

He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.

Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.

…lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,

There is no wisdom, no understanding, no counsel that can prevail against the LORD.

Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has bound up the waters in His cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is the name of His Son—surely you know!

The LORD of Hosts has sworn: “Surely, as I have planned, so will it be; as I have purposed, so will it stand.

The LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is outstretched, so who can turn it back?

The nations rage like the rush of many waters. He rebukes them, and they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills, like tumbleweeds before a gale.

This is the burden against Egypt: Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud; He is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him, and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them.

The LORD has stretched out His hand over the sea; He has made kingdoms tremble. He has given a command that the strongholds of Canaan be destroyed.

Trust in the LORD forever, because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.

I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.

But the Egyptians are men, not God; their horses are flesh, not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, the helper will stumble, and the one he helps will fall; both will perish together.

The peoples flee the thunder of Your voice; the nations scatter when You rise.

You who are far off, hear what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge My might.”

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on a scale and the hills with a balance?

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth; its dwellers are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner have their stems taken root in the ground, than He blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like stubble.

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.

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary; His understanding is beyond searching out.

Even from eternity I am He, and none can deliver out of My hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”

Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the surging waters,

…who brings out the chariots and horses, the armies and warriors together, to lie down, never to rise again; to be extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:

…who says to the depths of the sea, ‘Be dry, and I will dry up your currents,’

I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’

I summon a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far-off land. Truly I have spoken, and truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, and I will surely do it.

Surely My own hand founded the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they stand up together.

Why was no one there when I arrived? Why did no one answer when I called? Is My hand too short to redeem you? Or do I lack the strength to deliver you? Behold, My rebuke dries up the sea; I turn the rivers into a desert; the fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst.

I clothe the heavens in black and make sackcloth their covering.”

Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea for the redeemed to cross over?

For I am the LORD your God who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name.

The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear.

You will drink the milk of nations and nurse at the breasts of royalty; you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

…who sent His glorious arm to lead them by the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to gain for Himself everlasting renown,

Do you not fear Me?” declares the LORD. “Do you not tremble before Me, the One who set the sand as the boundary for the sea, an enduring barrier it cannot cross? The waves surge, but they cannot prevail. They roar but cannot cross it.

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.

When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten.

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!

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?

Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered pasture. For in an instant I will chase Babylon from her land. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? For who is like Me, and who can challenge Me? What shepherd can stand against Me?”

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

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

If the God whom we serve exists, then He is able to deliver us from the blazing fiery furnace and from your hand, O king.

All the peoples of the earth are counted as nothing, and He does as He pleases with the army of heaven and the peoples of the earth. There is no one who can restrain His hand or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’”

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.”

The LORD raises His voice in the presence of His army. Indeed, His camp is very large, for mighty are those who obey His command. For the Day of the LORD is great and very dreadful. Who can endure it?

The LORD will roar from Zion and raise His voice from Jerusalem; heaven and earth will tremble. But the LORD will be a refuge for His people, a stronghold for the people of Israel.

He said: “The LORD roars from Zion and raises His voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the summit of Carmel withers.”

For behold, He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind and reveals His thoughts to man, who turns the dawn to darkness and strides on the heights of the earth—the LORD, the God of Hosts, is His name.”

The Lord GOD of Hosts, He who touches the earth and it melts, and all its dwellers mourn—all the land rises like the Nile, then sinks like the river of Egypt—

He builds His upper rooms in the heavens and founds His vault upon the earth. He summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the face of the earth. The LORD is His name.

For behold, the LORD comes forth from His dwelling place; He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.

The mountains will melt beneath Him, and the valleys will split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.

The LORD is slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. His path is in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath His feet. …

He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations; the ancient mountains crumbled; the perpetual hills collapsed. His ways are everlasting.

You brandished Your bow; You called for many arrows. Selah You split the earth with rivers. …

You trampled the sea with Your horses, churning the great waters.

Then the LORD will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will sound the ram’s horn and advance in the whirlwinds of the south.

And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
