Great

Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty.

Here is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with creatures beyond number, living things both great and small.

They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,

Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.

He will bless those who fear the LORD—small and great alike.

For great is His loving devotion toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Hallelujah!

Great are Your mercies, O LORD; revive me according to Your ordinances.

I rejoice in Your promise like one who finds great spoil.

Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

A song of ascents. Of David. My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty. I do not aspire to great things or matters too lofty for me.

For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.

He alone does great wonders. His loving devotion endures forever.

He made the great lights—His loving devotion endures forever.

He struck down great kings His loving devotion endures forever.

They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

Our oxen will bear great loads. There will be no breach in the walls, no going into captivity, and no cry of lament in our streets.

Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable.

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.

Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,

He dies for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly.

With her great persuasion she entices him; with her flattering lips she lures him.

One pretends to be rich, but has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.

A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man promotes folly.

The house of the righteous has great treasure, but the income of the wicked is trouble.

Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure with turmoil.

Better a little with righteousness than great gain with injustice.

A man’s gift opens doors for him, and brings him before great men.

A man of great anger must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do so again.

A gift in secret soothes anger, and a covert bribe pacifies great wrath.

A good name is more desirable than great riches; favor is better than silver and gold.

…and put a knife to your throat if you possess a great appetite.

Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of great men;

When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

A leader who lacks judgment is also a great oppressor, but he who hates dishonest profit will prolong his days.

So I became great and surpassed all in Jerusalem who had preceded me; and my wisdom remained with me.

When there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a man who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great evil.

I have also seen this wisdom under the sun, and it was great to me:

If the ruler’s temper flares against you, do not abandon your post, for calmness lays great offenses to rest.

Folly is appointed to great heights, but the rich sit in lowly positions.

I heard the LORD of Hosts declare: “Surely many houses will become desolate, great mansions left unoccupied.

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.

Cry out and sing, O citizen of Zion, for great among you is the Holy One of Israel.”

Listen, a tumult on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations gathered together! The LORD of Hosts is mobilizing an army for war.

On the great waters came the grain of Shihor; the harvest of the Nile was the revenue of Tyre; she was the merchant of the nations.

The moon will be confounded and the sun will be ashamed; for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders with great glory.

In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent—Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.

And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

And from every high mountain and every raised hill, streams of water will flow in the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall.

Each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry land, like the shadow of a great rock in an arid land.

The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood. It drips with fat—with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

The desert owl and screech owl will possess it, and the great owl and raven will dwell in it. The LORD will stretch out over Edom a measuring line of chaos and a plumb line of destruction.

And the king of Assyria sent the Rabshakeh, with a great army, from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. And he stopped by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field.

The Rabshakeh said to them, “Tell Hezekiah that this is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: What is the basis of this confidence of yours?

Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out loudly in Hebrew: “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!

Surely for my own welfare I had such great anguish; but Your love has delivered me from the pit of oblivion, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

Lift up your eyes on high: Who created all these? He leads forth the starry host by number; He calls each one by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea for the redeemed to cross over?

Therefore I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the spoils with the strong, because He has poured out His life unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors. Yet He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.

“For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will bring you back.

Then all your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their prosperity.

You went to Molech with oil and multiplied your perfumes. You have sent your envoys a great distance; you have descended even to Sheol itself.

I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion and His praiseworthy acts, because of all that the LORD has done for us—the many good things for the house of Israel according to His great compassion and loving devotion.

“Run for cover, O sons of Benjamin; flee from Jerusalem! Sound the ram’s horn in Tekoa; send up a signal over Beth-haccherem, for disaster looms from the north, even great destruction.

This is what the LORD says: “Behold, an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is stirred up from the ends of the earth.

For the sound of wailing is heard from Zion: ‘How devastated we are! How great is our shame! For we have abandoned the land because our dwellings have been torn down.’”

There is none like You, O LORD. You are great, and Your name is mighty in power.

Listen! The sound of a report is coming—a great commotion from the land to the north. It will make the cities of Judah a desolation, a haunt for jackals.

“This is what the LORD says: In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.

“Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, nor will anyone cut himself or shave his head for them.

When you tell these people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great disaster against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’

Cursed be the man who brought my father the news, saying, “A son is born to you,” bringing him great joy.

And I Myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and a mighty arm, with anger, fury, and great wrath.

And many nations will pass by this city and ask one another, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this great city?’

…who says, ‘I will build myself a great palace, with spacious upper rooms.’ So he cuts windows in it, panels it with cedar, and paints it with vermilion.

For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands.’”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did Hezekiah not fear the LORD and seek His favor, and did not the LORD relent of the disaster He had pronounced against them? But we are about to bring great harm on ourselves!”

By My great power and outstretched arm, I made the earth and the men and beasts on the face of it, and I give it to whom I please.

All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time of his own land comes; then many nations and great kings will enslave him.

The prophets of old who preceded you and me prophesied war, disaster, and plague against many lands and great kingdoms.

All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer seek you, for I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins.

Why do you cry out over your wound? Your pain has no cure! Because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins I have done these things to you.

Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, including the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor. They will return as a great assembly!

This is what the LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”

Is not Ephraim a precious son to Me, a delightful child? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore My heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him,” declares the LORD.

“Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!

You show loving devotion to thousands but lay the iniquity of the fathers into the laps of their children after them, O great and mighty God whose name is the LORD of Hosts,

…the One great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are on all the ways of the sons of men, to reward each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.

You brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.

I will surely gather My people from all the lands to which I have banished them in My furious anger and great wrath, and I will return them to this place and make them dwell in safety.

For this is what the LORD says: Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so I will bring on them all the good I have promised them.

Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

Perhaps they will bring their petition before the LORD, and each one will turn from his wicked way; for great are the anger and fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people.”

…they took all their men and went to fight Ishmael son of Nethaniah. And they found him near the great pool in Gibeon.

So now, this is what the LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Why are you doing such great harm to yourselves by cutting off from Judah man and woman, child and infant, leaving yourselves without a remnant?

Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women standing by—a great assembly—along with all the people living in the land of Egypt and in Pathros, said to Jeremiah,

Nevertheless, hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah living in Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great name, says the LORD, that never again will any man of Judah living in the land of Egypt invoke My name or say, ‘As surely as the Lord GOD lives.’

But as for you, do you seek great things for yourself? Stop seeking! For I will bring disaster on every living creature, declares the LORD, but wherever you go, I will grant your life as a spoil of war.”

A voice cries out from Horonaim: ‘Devastation and great destruction!’

For behold, I stir up and bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the land of the north. They will line up against her; from the north she will be captured. Their arrows will be like skilled warriors who do not return empty-handed.
