  • Exod 15:1-9 : 1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously: the horse and its rider he has thrown into the sea. 2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him a habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. 3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name. 4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army he has cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea. 5 The depths have covered them: they sank to the bottom like a stone. 6 Your right hand, O LORD, has become glorious in power: your right hand, O LORD, has dashed in pieces the enemy. 7 And in the greatness of your excellence you have overthrown those who rose against you: you sent forth your wrath, which consumed them like stubble. 8 And with the blast of your nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright like a heap, and the depths congealed in the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. 10 You blew with your wind, 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, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? 12 You stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them. 13 In your mercy you have led forth the people whom you have redeemed: you have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation. 14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Philistia. 15 Then the chiefs of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. 16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm they shall be as still as a stone; till your people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over whom you have purchased. 17 You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which you have made for you to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established. 18 The LORD shall reign forever and ever. 19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. 20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. 21 And Miriam answered them, Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and its rider he has thrown into the sea.
  • Deut 32:39 : 39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: nor is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
  • Judg 5:1-9 : 1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying, 2 Praise the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves. 3 Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; I, even I, will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel. 4 LORD, when you went out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens poured, the clouds also poured water. 5 The mountains melted before the LORD, even that Sinai, before the LORD God of Israel. 6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned, and the travelers walked through byways. 7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose, that I arose a mother in Israel. 8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates; was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel? 9 My heart is with the rulers of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the LORD. 10 Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit in judgment, and walk by the way. 11 Those who are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they recount the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of His villages in Israel; then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates. 12 Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song; arise, Barak, and lead your captives captive, son of Abinoam. 13 Then He made him who remains have dominion over the nobles among the people; the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty. 14 Out of Ephraim came those with roots against Amalek; after you, Benjamin, with your people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun those who handle the pen of the scribe. 15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak; he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart. 16 Why did you stay among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. 17 Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan; and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued at the sea shore, and remained in his inlets. 18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people who risked their lives to the death in the high places of the field. 19 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money. 20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera. 21 The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, you have trodden down strength. 22 Then were the horsehoofs broken by the prancing, the prancing of their mighty ones. 23 Curse Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse bitterly its inhabitants; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty. 24 Blessed above women shall Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, be; blessed shall she be above women in the tent. 25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a noble dish. 26 She put her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workman's hammer; and with the hammer she struck Sisera, she struck off his head, when she had pierced and struck through his temples. 27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down; at her feet he bowed, he fell; where he bowed, there he fell down dead. 28 The mother of Sisera looked out of a window, and cried through the lattice, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? why do the wheels of his chariots delay?' 29 Her wise ladies answered her, yes, she returned answer to herself, 30 'Have they not found and divided the spoil? To every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments embroidered, dyed garments embroidered on both sides, for the necks of those who take the spoil?' 31 So let all your enemies perish, O LORD; but let those who love Him be as the sun when it comes out in its strength. And the land had rest for forty years.
  • 1 Sam 2:1-9 : 1 And Hannah prayed and said, My heart rejoices in the LORD; my strength is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies because I rejoice in your salvation. 2 There is none holy like the LORD; for there is none besides you; neither is there any rock like our God. 3 Talk no more so proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength. 5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread; and those who were hungry have ceased to hunger: so that the barren has borne seven; and she who has many children has become feeble. 6 The LORD kills and makes alive: he brings down to the grave and brings up. 7 The LORD makes poor and makes rich: he brings low and lifts up. 8 He raises up the poor from the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ashes, to set them among princes and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he has set the world upon them. 9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no one prevail. 10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven he shall thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.

  • Ps 107:17-22 : 17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. 18 Their soul abhors all manner of food; and they draw near to the gates of death. 19 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses. 20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
  • Ps 116:1-4 : 1 I love the LORD, because He has heard my voice and my supplications. 2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live. 3 The sorrows of death surrounded me, and the pains of hell took hold of me: I found trouble and sorrow. 4 Then I called upon the name of the LORD: O LORD, I beg You, deliver my soul.

  • Jonah 2:1-9 : 1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish's belly, 2 And said, I cried out because of my affliction to the LORD, and He heard me; out of the depths of the grave I cried, and You heard my voice. 3 For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas; and the floods surrounded me, all Your waves and billows passed over me. 4 Then I said, I am cast out of Your sight; yet I will look again toward Your holy temple. 5 The waters surrounded me, even to my soul: the depths closed in around me, the seaweed was wrapped around my head. 6 I went down to the foundations of the mountains; the earth with its bars was around me forever: yet You have brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. 7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; and my prayer came to You, into Your holy temple. 8 Those who regard worthless idols forsake their own mercy. 9 But I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

    22Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.

    23Many brought gifts to the LORD at Jerusalem and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from that time on.

    24In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death, and he prayed to the LORD, and He spoke to him and gave him a sign.

    25But Hezekiah did not repay the benefit done to him, for his heart was proud, therefore wrath was upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

    26However, Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
