Psalm 106:8-9 Part 2 of 2

Even so, he saved them--

    to defend the honor of his name

    and to demonstrate his mighty power.

He commanded the Red Sea to dry up.

    He led Israel across the sea as if it were a desert.

 

He commanded the Red Sea to dry up. He led Israel across the sea as if it were a desert.

Exodus 14:21  Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the LORD opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land.

Psalm 18:15  

Then at your command, O LORD,

    at the blast of your breath,

the bottom of the sea could be seen,

    and the foundations of the earth were laid bare.  (see verses 7-15)

Psalm 78:13  

For he divided the sea and led them through,

    making the water stand up like walls!  

    (see all Psalm 78, also Psalm 77:13-20)

Isaiah 50:2  

"Why was no one there when I came?

    Why didn't anyone answer when I called?

Is it because I have no power to rescue?

    No, that is not the reason! For I can speak to the sea and make it dry up!

    I can turn rivers into deserts covered with dying fish."  (see all chapter 50)

Isaiah 63:11-14  

Then they remembered those days of old

    when Moses led his people out of Egypt.

They cried out, "Where is the one who brought Israel through the sea,

    with Moses as their shepherd?

Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit

    to be among his people?

Where is the one whose power was displayed 

    when Moses lifted up his hand--

the one who divided the sea before them,

    making himself famous forever?

Where is the one who led them through the bottom of the sea?

    They were like fine stallions

    racing through the desert, never stumbling.

As with cattle going down into a peaceful valley,

    the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest.

You led your people, LORD,

    and gained a magnificent reputation."  (see all chapter 63) 

Nahum 1:4  

At his command the oceans dry up,

    and the rivers disappear.

The lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade,

    and the green forests of Lebanon wither.  (see all chapter 1)
