28 JEHUDAH HALEVI

14

ON THE SEA
VI

I say in the heart of the seas to the quaking
heart,

Ps. 93,3. Fearing exceedingly because they lift up their
waves:

If thou believest in God who made

The sea, and whose Name doth stand unto
all eternity,

Ps. 89.10. The sea shall not affright thee when the

waves thereof arise,
jer. 5,22. For with thee is One who hath set a bound to
the sea.
