Ps 71.9
“How you have helped one who has no power!
How you have assisted the arm that has no strength!
3How you have counseled one who has no wisdom
and given much good advice!
4With whose help have you uttered words,
and whose spirit has come forth from you?
5The shades below tremble,
the waters and their inhabitants.
6 #
Ps 139.8, 11; Heb 4.13 Sheol is naked before God,
and Abaddon has no covering.
7 #
Job 9.8
He stretches out Zaphon#26.7 Or the North over the void
and hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 #
Prov 30.4
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
and the cloud is not torn open by them.
9 #
Ps 97.2
He covers the face of the full moon
and spreads over it his cloud.
10 #
Job 20.24; 38.8–11, 19; Prov 8.29 He has described a circle on the face of the waters,
at the boundary between light and darkness.
11The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astounded at his rebuke.
12 #
Ex 14.21; Isa 51.15; Jer 31.35 By his power he stilled the Sea;
by his understanding he struck down Rahab.
13 #
Job 9.8; Isa 27.1 By his wind the heavens were made fair;
his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 #
Job 36.29
These are indeed but the outskirts of his ways,
and how small a whisper do we hear of him!
But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
