8. Psalm 10 16 The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.  17 You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,  18 defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.

10. Ed Welch “Since Jesus’ death and resurrection, God is willing to jog your memory day after day. God, apparently, is happy to repeat himself. For some people, repetition becomes a been-there-done-that and they check out until there is something new.

14. Exodus 15 3 The LORD is a warrior;   the LORD is his name. 8 By the blast of your nostrils   the waters piled up.   The surging waters stood firm like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.

15. Exodus 15 10 But you blew with your breath,    and the sea covered them.    They sank like lead    in the mighty waters. 14 The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the people of Philistia.

16. 15 The chiefs of Edom will be terrified, the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling, the people of Canaan will melt away; 16 terror and dread will fall upon them. By the power of your arm they will be as still as a stone— until your people pass by, O LORD, until the people you bought pass by.”

17. Hebrews 12:18-21 18You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; 19to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them,

18. 20because they could not bear what was commanded: "If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned." 21The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, "I am trembling with fear."

19. Revelation 1:12-16 12I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man,"dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.

23. Job 42:1-6 1 Then Job replied to the LORD a second time :  2 "I know that you can do all things;    no plan of yours can be thwarted.  3 You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?' Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

24. Job 42:1-6 4 "You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak;   I will question you,     and you shall answer me.'  5 My ears had heard of you    but now my eyes have seen you.  6 Therefore I despise myself     and repent in dust and ashes."

25. Habakkuk 3:16b “Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the nation invading us.”

26. 1 Peter 2:22-23 22"He committed no sin,  and no deceit was found in his mouth.“ 23When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
