The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

He shall judge among the nations, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall crush the heads over many countries.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
