    • Tanach, Psalms 114:5-7:
      מַה־לְּךָ הַיָּם כִּי תָנוּס הַיַּרְדֵּן תִּסֹּב לְאָחוֹר׃ הֶהָרִים תִּרְקְדוּ כְאֵילִים גְּבָעוֹת כִּבְנֵי־צֹאן׃ מִלִּפְנֵי אָדוֹן חוּלִי אָרֶץ מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלוֹהַּ יַעֲקֹב׃
      What's the matter with you, sea, that you should flea? River Jordan, that you should turn backward? With you, mountains, that you should dance like rams, you hills, like sheep? Earth, tremble before the lord, before Jacob's god.
  2. God.
