    62. O Lord God! let the haven be cast down by the fury of the storm! Let the foam of the grape tincture my soul with Thy light!

      I'm always intrigued that the particular form of deity invoked here is a traditional Divine Name of Biynah, YHVH ALHYM.

        Do you mean "Lord God"? I've never thought of that. Is that YHVH as "Lord" and ALHYM as "God"? Individually and grouped together those two words come up quite a bit in the Holy Books (if memory serves me correctly). Very cool.

          Exactly. (Remember, Jews read YHVH aloud as "Adonai," is the King James and similar English translations use "Lord" as YHVH translation except in special cases where it would come out "Lord Lord.")

          One could argue, of course, that I'm wrong on this one - that, from Chapter 1, verse 1 forward, this book (which is already Adonai-themed with the 65 focus and the frequent use of "Adonai" specifically) uses "the Lord Adonai." That would suggest that this is YHVH ADNY or ADNY YHVH (one of those that gets treated as an exception so that it doesn't come out "Lord Lord").

            Grouped together, 3 times in LXV and 1 time in VII. 😄

                The verse number doubles from 31 in the second occurrence in cap. 1 and in cap. 3 we have all threes for the verse number. Interesting.
