  • Exod 15:1-9 : 1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD, saying: 'I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; the horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.' 2 The LORD is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will glorify Him; the God of my father, and I will exalt Him. 3 The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is His name. 4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea; the finest of his officers were drowned in the Red Sea. 5 The deep waters covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone. 6 Your right hand, LORD, is majestic in power. Your right hand, LORD, shatters the enemy. 7 In the greatness of Your majesty, You overthrow those who rise against You. You unleash Your burning anger; it consumes them like stubble. 8 By the blast of Your nostrils, the waters piled up; the flowing waters stood like a wall; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoils; my desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them.' 10 But You blew with Your wind, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. 11 Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders? 12 You stretched out Your right hand, and the earth swallowed them. 13 In Your steadfast love, You led the people You redeemed; in Your strength, You guided them to Your holy dwelling. 14 The peoples have heard; they tremble; anguish has seized the inhabitants of Philistia. 15 The chiefs of Edom are dismayed; the leaders of Moab tremble; the inhabitants of Canaan melt away. 16 Terror and dread fall upon them; by the greatness of Your arm, they are still as a stone, until Your people pass by, LORD, until the people You have purchased pass by. 17 You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance—the place, LORD, You made for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, Lord, Your hands established. 18 The LORD will reign forever and ever. 19 For when Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground. 20 Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her with tambourines and dancing. 21 Miriam sang to them: 'Sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted. Both horse and rider He has hurled into the sea.'
  • Deut 32:39 : 39 See now that I, I alone, am He, and there is no god besides Me. I put to death and I bring to life, I wound and I heal, and no one can deliver out of My hand.
  • Judg 5:1-9 : 1 On that day, Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, sang this song: 2 When the leaders in Israel take charge, when the people willingly offer themselves—praise the Lord! 3 Listen, kings! Pay attention, rulers! I will sing to the Lord; I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel. 4 O Lord, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the fields of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens poured down, the clouds poured down water. 5 The mountains melted before the Lord, even Sinai, before the Lord, the God of Israel. 6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned; travelers took to winding paths. 7 Village life in Israel ceased, ceased until I, Deborah, arose, a mother in Israel. 8 When they chose new gods, then war came to the city gates. Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel. 9 My heart is with Israel’s commanders, with the willing volunteers among the people. Praise the Lord! 10 You who ride on white donkeys, sitting on rich carpets, and you who walk along the road, think about this: 11 The voices of the archers at the watering places recount the righteous acts of the Lord, the righteous acts of His villagers in Israel. Then the people of the Lord went down to the city gates. 12 Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, Barak! Take captive your captives, son of Abinoam. 13 Then the survivors came down to the nobles; the people of the Lord came down to me against the mighty. 14 From Ephraim came those whose roots were in Amalek; Benjamin was with the people who followed you. From Machir, commanders marched down; from Zebulun, those who wield the staff of office. 15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah; yes, Issachar was with Barak, sent into the valley under his command. In the districts of Reuben, there was much searching of heart. 16 Why did you stay among the sheepfolds to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the districts of Reuben, there was much searching of heart. 17 Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan; and Dan, why did he linger by the ships? Asher remained on the seashore and stayed in his coves. 18 Zebulun risked his life to the point of death, and Naphtali, too, on the heights of the battlefield. 19 Kings came, they fought; the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver. 20 From the heavens the stars fought; from their courses, they fought against Sisera. 21 The river Kishon swept them away, the ancient river, the river Kishon. March on, my soul, in strength! 22 Then the hoofs of horses hammered—galloping, galloping of their mighty steeds. 23 'Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the Lord. 'Curse its inhabitants bitterly, because they did not come to help the Lord, to help the Lord against the mighty.' 24 Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women. 25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk; in a bowl fit for nobles, she brought him curd. 26 She reached for the tent peg, her right hand for the workman's hammer. She struck Sisera, she crushed his head, she shattered and pierced his temple. 27 At her feet he sank, he fell, there he lay. At her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell—dead. 28 Through the window peered Sisera's mother; behind the lattice she cried out, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why is the clatter of his chariots delayed?' 29 Her wisest ladies answer her; indeed, she keeps saying to herself, 30 'Are they not finding and dividing the spoils: a girl or two for each man, colorful garments for Sisera, colorful garments embroidered, highly embroidered garments for my neck—all this as plunder?' 31 So may all Your enemies perish, O Lord! But may those who love You be like the sun when it rises in its strength. And the land was at peace for forty years.
  • 1 Sam 2:1-9 : 1 Hannah prayed and said: 'My heart rejoices in the LORD; my horn is lifted high in the LORD. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in Your deliverance.' 2 'There is no one holy like the LORD, for there is no one besides You; there is no Rock like our God.' 3 'Do not keep speaking so arrogantly or let proud words come out of your mouth, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by Him deeds are weighed.' 4 'The bows of the mighty are broken, but those who stumbled are armed with strength.' 5 'Those who were full hire themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry are hungry no more. The barren woman has borne seven children, but she who has many sons languishes.' 6 'The LORD brings death and gives life; He brings down to Sheol and raises up.' 7 'The LORD makes poor and makes rich; He humbles and He exalts.' 8 'He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap to sit with nobles and inherit a seat of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s; upon them He has set the world.' 9 'He guards the feet of His faithful ones, but the wicked are silenced in darkness. For it is not by strength that one prevails.' 10 'The LORD will shatter His adversaries; He will thunder against them from heaven. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to His king and exalt the horn of His anointed.'

  • Ps 107:17-22 : 17 Some became fools because of their rebellious ways and suffered because of their sins. 18 They loathed all food and drew near to the gates of death. 19 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress. 20 He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction. 21 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His steadfast love and His wonderful deeds for mankind. 22 Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and tell of His works with shouts of joy.
  • Ps 116:1-4 : 1 I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my pleas for mercy. 2 Because he has inclined his ear to me, I will call to him as long as I live. 3 The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of Sheol came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow. 4 Then I called on the name of the Lord: 'O Lord, please save my life!'
  • Ps 118:18-19 : 18 The Lord has disciplined me severely, but He has not given me over to death. 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord.

I will trust and not be afraid, for the LORD, the LORD Himself, is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. 3 With joy, you will draw water from the wells of salvation. 4 On that day, you will say, "Give thanks to the LORD; call on His name! Make known His deeds among the peoples; proclaim that His name is exalted." 5 Sing to the LORD, for He has done glorious things. Let this be known throughout the whole earth. 6 Shout aloud and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great among you is the Holy One of Israel.
  • Hos 6:1-2 : 1 Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has struck us down, but He will bind us up. 2 After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, so that we may live before Him.
  • Jonah 2:1-9 : 1 The LORD appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights. 2 Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish. 3 He said, 'I called to the LORD in my distress, and He answered me. From the depths of the grave, I cried out, and You heard my voice.' 4 You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the currents surrounded me. All Your waves and breakers swept over me. 5 I said, 'I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.' 6 The waters engulfed me up to my neck; the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head. 7 To the roots of the mountains, I descended. The earth beneath barred me in forever, but You brought my life up from the pit, LORD my God. 8 As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer rose to You, to Your holy temple. 9 Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from their faithful love.

    1At that time, Merodach-baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, because he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick and had recovered.

    2Hezekiah was pleased with them, and he showed them everything in his treasure house—the silver, the gold, the spices, the fine oil, all his armory, and everything in his storehouses. There was nothing in his palace or in his entire kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them.

    1In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill, and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him and said, "This is what the LORD says: Set your house in order, for you are going to die; you will not recover."

    2Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,

    3saying, "Please, LORD, remember how I have walked before You in truth, wholeheartedly, and have done what is good in Your eyes." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

    4Before Isaiah had gone out of the middle courtyard, the word of the LORD came to him:

    5"Go back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of My people: This is what the LORD, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day, you will go up to the house of the LORD.

    6I will add fifteen years to your life. I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for My sake and for the sake of My servant David."

    7Then Isaiah said, "Prepare a lump of figs." So they took it and placed it on the boil, and he recovered.

    8Hezekiah asked Isaiah, "What will be the sign that the LORD will heal me and that I will go up to the house of the LORD on the third day?"

    9Isaiah answered, "This is the sign from the LORD to you that He will do what He has promised: Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or shall it go back ten steps?"

    10Hezekiah answered, "It is an easy thing for the shadow to move forward ten steps; rather, let it go back ten steps."

    11Then the prophet Isaiah called out to the LORD, and He made the shadow go back ten steps on the stairway of Ahaz, the steps it had descended.

    12At that time, Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah because he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

    22So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria and from the hand of all others. He took care of them on every side.

    23Many brought offerings to the LORD to Jerusalem and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah, so he was highly regarded by all the nations thereafter.

    24In those days Hezekiah became very sick, to the point of death. He prayed to the LORD, who answered him and gave him a miraculous sign.

    25But Hezekiah did not respond to the kindness shown to him, for his heart was proud. Therefore, wrath came upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

    26However, Hezekiah humbled himself, along with the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so the LORD's wrath did not come upon them during Hezekiah's days.
