Lexicon :: Strong's G12 - abyssos

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the sources of the vast watery depths burst open, the floodgates of the sky were opened,

The sources of the watery depths and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky stopped.

“For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land with streams, springs, and deep water sources, flowing in both valleys and hills;

He said about Joseph:

May his land be blessed by the LORD

with the dew of heaven’s bounty

and the watery depths that lie beneath;

The ocean depths say, “It’s not in me,”

while the sea declares, “I don’t have it.”

Indeed, he lured you from the jaws[fn] of distress

to a spacious and unconfined place.

Your table was spread with choice food.

Have you traveled to the sources of the sea

or walked in the depths of the oceans?

when water becomes as hard as stone,[fn]

and the surface of the watery depths is frozen?

He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron;

he makes the sea like an ointment jar.

He gathers the water of the sea into a heap;[fn]

he puts the depths into storehouses.

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,

your judgments like the deepest sea.

LORD, you preserve people and animals.

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls;

all your breakers and your billows have swept over me.

You caused me to experience

many troubles and misfortunes,

but you will revive me again.

You will bring me up again,

even from the depths of the earth.

The water saw you, God.

The water saw you; it trembled.

Even the depths shook.

He split rocks in the wilderness

and gave them drink as abundant as the depths.

You covered it with the deep

as if it were a garment;

the water stood above the mountains.

He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up;

he led them through the depths as through a desert.

Rising up to the sky, sinking down to the depths,

their courage[fn] melting away in anguish,

The LORD does whatever he pleases

in heaven and on earth,

in the seas and all the depths.

Praise the LORD from the earth,

all sea monsters and ocean depths,

By his knowledge the watery depths broke open,

and the clouds dripped with dew.

“I was born

when there were no watery depths

and no springs filled with water.

who says to the depths of the sea, “Be dry,”

and I will dry up your rivers;

Wasn’t it you who dried up the sea,

the waters of the great deep,

who made the sea-bed into a road

for the redeemed to pass over?

and led them through the depths

like a horse in the wilderness,

so that they did not stumble.

For this is what the Lord GOD says: “When I make you a ruined city like other deserted cities, when I raise up the deep against you so that the mighty waters cover you,

“The waters caused it to grow;

the underground springs made it tall,

directing their rivers all around

the place where the tree was planted

and sending their channels

to all the trees of the field.

“ ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: I caused grieving on the day the cedar went down to Sheol. I closed off the underground deep because of it:[fn] I held back the rivers of the deep, and its abundant water was restrained. I made Lebanon mourn on account of it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it.

The Lord GOD showed me this: The Lord GOD was calling for a judgment by fire. It consumed the great deep and devoured the land.

The water engulfed me up to the neck;[fn]

the watery depths overcame me;

seaweed was wrapped around my head.

The mountains see you and shudder;

a downpour of water sweeps by.

The deep roars with its voice

and lifts its waves[fn] high.
