Psalm 76:10

For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.

Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
