⁸ Who alone stretches out the heavens, Treads on the waves of the sea;

²⁴ Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb: I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who stretches forth the heavens alone; who spreads abroad the earth (who is with me?);

²² [It is] he who sits above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants of it are as grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in;

² He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

³ He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

¹ An oracle. The word of Yahweh concerning Israel. Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:

¹¹ Thus shall you say to them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.

¹⁸ Can you, with him, spread out the sky, Which is strong as a cast metal mirror?

¹⁹ When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia,{25 to 30 stadia is about 5 to 6 kilometers or about 3 to 4 miles} they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.

²⁵ In the fourth watch of the night,{The night was equally divided into four watches, so the fourth watch is approximately 3:00 A. M. to sunrise.} Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

²⁶ When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost!" and they cried out for fear.

²⁷ But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying "Cheer up! I AM!{see Exodus 3:14.} Don't be afraid."

²⁸ Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters."

²⁹ He said, "Come!" Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.

³⁰ But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"

⁵ Thus says God Yahweh, he who created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he who spread abroad the earth and that which comes out of it; he who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk therein:

³ The floods have lifted up, Yahweh, The floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves.

⁴ Above the voices of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea, Yahweh on high is mighty.

¹⁹ Your way was through the sea; Your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

⁶ By Yahweh's word the heavens were made; All their host by the breath of his mouth.

¹⁶ "Have you entered into the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in the recesses of the deep?

¹¹ And said, 'Here you may come, but no further; Here shall your proud waves be stayed?'

⁶ God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."

⁷ God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse, and it was so.
