The Ocean

He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea,

…even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.

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.

And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.

Others went out to sea in ships, conducting trade on the mighty waters. …

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

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

The wind blows southward, then turns northward; round and round it swirls, ever returning on its course.

All the rivers flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full; to the place from which the streams come, there again they flow.

Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
