Bible
Intertestamental

NRSV

1 O Lord Almighty,

God of our ancestors,
of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob
and of their righteous offspring;
2 you who made heaven and earth
with all their order;
3 who shackled the sea by your word of command,
who confined the deep
and sealed it with your terrible and glorious name;
4 at whom all things shudder,

and tremble before your power,

A Creation Record

See The Primal Sea, Appropriation of ANE mythology. Worshippers of the One God were familiar with the polytheistic mythology of their neighbours right through the period between the Old and New Testaments, and continued to appropriate its poetry.
