9“He obscures the face of the full moon
         And spreads His cloud over it.

10“He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters
         At the boundary of light and darkness.

11“The pillars of heaven tremble
         And are amazed at His rebuke.

12“He quieted the sea with His power,
         And by His understanding He shattered Rahab.

13“By His breath the heavens are cleared;
         His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent.

14“Behold, these are the fringes of His ways;
         And how faint a word we hear of Him!
         But His mighty thunder, who can understand?”
