Bow

I will send a rain of troubles on them, my arrows will be showered on them.

If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.

O Lord, be on my side against those who are judging me; be at war with those who make war against me.

Awake! awake! put on strength, O arm of the Lord, awake! as in the old days, in the generations long past. Was it not by you that Rahab was cut in two, and the dragon Wounded?

The Lord has let his holy arm be seen by the eyes of all nations; and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

His bow has been bent for the attack, he has taken his place with his hand ready, in his hate he has put to death all who were pleasing to the eye: on the tent of the daughter of Zion he has let loose his passion like fire.

In that day the Lord made an agreement with Abram, and said, To your seed have I given this land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

And I will make between me and you and your seed after you through all generations, an eternal agreement to be a God to you and to your seed after you.

Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,

Keep in this land, and I will be with you and give you my blessing; for to you and to your seed will I give all these lands, giving effect to the oath which I made to your father Abraham;

And he saw the Lord by his side, saying, I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac: I will give to you and to your seed this land on which you are sleeping.

He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;

To do acts of mercy to our fathers and to keep in mind his holy word,

For when God made his oath to Abraham, because there was no greater oath, he made it by himself,

See, I will take my place before you on the rock in Horeb; and when you give the rock a blow, water will come out of it, and the people will have drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the chiefs of Israel.

And lifting up his hand, Moses gave the rock two blows with his rod: and water came streaming out, and the people and their cattle had drink enough.

The rocks of the waste land were broken by his power, and he gave them drink as out of the deep waters.

His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.

And the same holy drink: for they all took of the water from the holy rock which came after them: and the rock was Christ.

The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you, they were in fear: even the deep was troubled.

I will make waste mountains and hills, drying up all their plants; and I will make rivers dry, and pools dry land.

By faith they went through the Red Sea as if it had been dry land, though the Egyptians were overcome by the water when they made an attempt to do the same.
