A Chamber Above Cosmic Waters
On that day The Lord will punish with his sword That is cruel, great, and strong Leviathan the fleeing serpent Leviathan the coiled serpent; He will slay the dragon in the sea On that day— The pleasant vineyard, sing about it! I, the Lord, am its keeper I water it every moment; Lest anyone harm it Night and day I guard it I am not angry But if I were to find briers and thorns In battle I would march against it; I would burn it all But if it holds fast to my refuge It shall have peace with me; It shall have peace with me In days to come Jacob shall take root Israel shall sprout and blossom Covering all the world with fruit Was he smitten as his smiter was smitten? Was he slain as his slayer was slain? Driving out and expelling, he struggled against it Carrying it off with his cruel wind on a day of storm This, then, shall be the expiation of Jacob’s guilt This the result of removing his sin: He shall pulverize all the stones of the altars Like pieces of chalk; No asherahs or incense altars shall stand For the fortified city shall be desolate An abandoned pasture, a forsaken wilderness; Can you lead Leviathan about with a hook Or tie down his tongue with a rope? Can you put a ring into his nose Or pierce through his cheek with a gaff? Will he then plead with you, time after time Or address you with tender words? Will he make a covenant with you That you may have him as a slave forever? Can you play with him, as with a bird? Can you tie him up for your little girls? Will the traders bargain for him? Will the merchants divide him up? Can you fill his hide with barbs Or his head with fish spears? Once you but lay a hand upon him No need to recall any other conflict!

God takes a stand in the divine council Gives judgment in the midst of the gods “How long will you judge unjustly And favor the cause of the wicked? Selah “Defend the lowly and fatherless; Render justice to the afflicted and needy Rescue the lowly and poor; Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” The gods neither know nor understand Wandering about in darkness And all the world’s foundations shake I declare: “Gods though you be Offspring of the Most High all of you Yet like any mortal you shall die; Like any prince you shall fall.” Arise, O God, judge the earth For yours are all the nations

His glory covered the heavens And his praise filled the earth; His splendor spread like the light He raised his horns high He rejoiced on the day of his strength Before him went pestilence And plague followed in his steps He stood and shook the earth; He looked and made the nations tremble Ancient mountains were shattered The age-old hills bowed low Age-old orbits collapsed The tents of Cushan trembled The pavilions of the land of Midian Was your anger against the rivers, O Lord? Your wrath against the rivers Your rage against the sea That you mounted your steeds Your victorious chariot? You readied your bow You filled your bowstring with arrows Selah You split the earth with rivers; At the sight of you the mountains writhed The clouds poured down water; The deep roared loudly The sun forgot to rise The moon left its lofty station At the light of your flying arrows At the gleam of your flashing spear In wrath you marched on the earth In fury you trampled the nations You came forth to save your people To save your anointed one You crushed the back of the wicked You laid him bare, bottom to neck Selah You pierced his head with your shafts; His princes you scattered with your stormwind As food for the poor in unknown places You trampled the sea with your horses Amid the churning of the deep waters I hear, and my body trembles; At the sound, my lips quiver Decay invades my bones My legs tremble beneath me I await the day of distress That will come upon the people who attack us

For in him dwells the whole fullness of the deity Bodily, and you share in this fullness in him Who is the head of every principality and power In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision Not administered by hand By stripping off the carnal body With the circumcision of Christ You were buried with him in baptism In which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead And even when you were dead in transgressions And the uncircumcision of your flesh, he brought you to life along with him, having forgiven us all our transgressions; Obliterating the bond against us, with its legal claims, which was opposed to us He also removed it from our midst, nailing it to the cross; Despoiling the principalities and the powers He made a public spectacle of them Leading them away in triumph by it

Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplatе, and your feet shod in readiness for the gospеl of peace In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all flaming arrows of the evil one And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God

You are clothed with majesty and splendor Robed in light as with a cloak You spread out the heavens like a tent; Setting the beams of your chambers upon the waters You make the clouds your chariot; Traveling on the wings of the wind You make the winds your messengers; Flaming fire, your ministers You fixed the earth on its foundation So it can never be shaken The deeps covered it like a garment; Above the mountains stood the waters At your rebuke they took flight; At the sound of your thunder they fled They rushed up the mountains, down the valleys To the place you had fixed for them You set a limit they cannot pass; Never again will they cover the earth
