Amos 9:5 - The Message

My Master, God-of-the-Angel-Armies,
   touches the earth, a mere touch, and it trembles.
   The whole world goes into mourning.
Earth swells like the Nile at flood stage;
   then the water subsides, like the great Nile of Egypt.
God builds his palace—towers soaring high in the skies,
   foundations set on the rock-firm earth.
He calls ocean waters and they come,
   then he ladles them out on the earth.
         God, your God, does all this.
