Psalms 148:7 Cross References - BBE

⁷ Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:

²¹ And God made great sea-beasts, and every sort of living and moving thing with which the waters were full, and every sort of winged bird: and God saw that it was good.

¹ Is it possible for Leviathan to be pulled out with a fish-hook, or for a hook to be put through the bone of his mouth? ² Will you put a cord into his nose, or take him away with a cord round his tongue? ³ Will he make prayers to you, or say soft words to you? ⁴ Will he make an agreement with you, so that you may take him as a servant for ever? ⁵ Will you make sport with him, as with a bird? or put him in chains for your young women? ⁶ Will the fishermen make profit out of him? will they have him cut up for the traders? ⁷ Will you put sharp-pointed irons into his skin, or fish-spears into his head? ⁸ Only put your hand on him, and see what a fight you will have; you will not do it again! ⁹ Truly, the hope of his attacker is false; he is overcome even on seeing him! ¹⁰ He is so cruel that no one is ready to go against him. Who then is able to keep his place before me? ¹¹ Who ever went against me, and got the better of me? There is no one under heaven! ¹² I will not keep quiet about the parts of his body, or about his power, and the strength of his frame. ¹³ Who has ever taken off his outer skin? who may come inside his inner coat of iron? ¹⁴ Who has made open the doors of his face? Fear is round about his teeth. ¹⁵ His back is made of lines of plates, joined tight together, one against the other, like a stamp. ¹⁶ One is so near to the other that no air may come between them. ¹⁷ They take a grip of one another; they are joined together, so that they may not be parted. ¹⁸ His sneezings give out flames, and his eyes are like the eyes of the dawn. ¹⁹ Out of his mouth go burning lights, and flames of fire are jumping up. ²⁰ Smoke comes out of his nose, like a pot boiling on the fire. ²¹ His breath puts fire to coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth. ²² Strength is in his neck, and fear goes dancing before him. ²³ The plates of his flesh are joined together, fixed, and not to be moved. ²⁴ His heart is as strong as a stone, hard as the lower crushing-stone. ²⁵ When he gets ready for the fight, the strong are overcome with fear. ²⁶ The sword may come near him but is not able to go through him; the spear, or the arrow, or the sharp-pointed iron. ²⁷ Iron is to him as dry grass, and brass as soft wood. ²⁸ The arrow is not able to put him to flight: stones are no more to him than dry stems. ²⁹ A thick stick is no better than a leaf of grass, and he makes sport of the onrush of the spear. ³⁰ Under him are sharp edges of broken pots: as if he was pulling a grain-crushing instrument over the wet earth. ³¹ The deep is boiling like a pot of spices, and the sea like a perfume-vessel. ³² After him his way is shining, so that the deep seems white. ³³ On earth there is not another like him, who is made without fear. ³⁴ Everything which is high goes in fear of him; he is king over all the sons of pride.

¹³ The sea was parted in two by your strength; the heads of the great sea-beasts were broken. ¹⁴ The heads of the great snake were crushed by you; you gave them as food to the fishes of the sea.

²⁵ There is the great, wide sea, where there are living things, great and small, more than may be numbered. ²⁶ There go the ships; there is that great beast, which you have made as a plaything.

¹ In that day the Lord, with his great and strong and cruel sword, will send punishment on Leviathan, the quick-moving snake, and on Leviathan, the twisted snake; and he will put to death the dragon which is in the sea.

²⁰ The beasts of the field will give me honour, the jackals and the ostriches: because I send out waters in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country, to give drink to the people whom I have taken for myself:

⁹ Awake! awake! put on strength, O arm of the Lord, awake! as in the old days, in the generations long past. Was it not by you that Rahab was cut in two, and the dragon Wounded? ¹⁰ Did you not make the sea dry, the waters of the great deep? did you not make the deep waters of the sea a way for the Lord's people to go through?
