Example: Psalms 107:23-32,43 KJV They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, They go down again to the depths: Their soul is melted because of trouble. They stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end. From Maxwell, C. Mervyn. “Daniel 9.” God Cares. Nampa, ID: Pacific Press, 1981. Vol. 1, p. 212.
Example: Psalms 107:23-32,43 KJV He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their haven desired. Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord. From Maxwell, C. Mervyn. “Daniel 9.” God Cares. Nampa, ID: Pacific Press, 1981. Vol. 1, p. 212.

Antiphonal Structure of Daniel 9:25-27 So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress. Then after sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. And he will make [keep] a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured on the one who makes desolate. From Maxwell, C. Mervyn. “Daniel 9.” God Cares. Nampa, ID: Pacific Press, 1981. Vol. 1, pp. 216-217.
