Day 6

The waters are saying, "When his voice resounds there is a rumbling of waters in the skies; he makes vapors rise from the ends of the earth, makes lightening for the rain, and brings forth the wind from his storehouses." (Jeremiah  51:16) 

The seas are saying, "More than the sound of many waters, the majestic waves of the sea, majestic on high is YHVH" (Ps. 93:4)

To understand the first quote, recall that in Genesis 1 there are "waters above" the sky (from whence rains come) as well as "waters beneath"

The quote from Psalm 93 is best appreciated in tandem with the preceding verse.

The waters have lifted up, O LORD,

The waters have lifted up their voice, 

The waters have lifted up their pounding waves.

More than the sound of many waters, 

the majestic waves of the sea,

Majestic on high is the LORD. 

I love the way the repetition suggests a wavelike movement and builds to a climax.

There's a musical counterpart to this climax in Debussy's La Mer, in the first movement, "From Dawn to Noon at the Sea."  Eric Satie once told Debussy, "I really like the part around 11:30"; if you listen to the piece, you'll know exactly what Satie is referring to.
