12 By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud. 13 By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent. 14 Lo, these are the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
