Eitz 04:02
אל אדון על כל המעשים ברוך ומבורך בפי כל הנשמה גדולו וטובו מלא עולם דעת ותבונה סובבים הודו המתגאה על חיות הקודש ונהדר בכבוד על המרכבה זכות ומשור לפני כסאו חסד ורחמים מלא כבודו God is the Lord of all creation He is praised by the breath of all life His greatness and goodness fills the universe Knowledge and wisdom surround his presence Exalted is He by the celestial beings Adorned in the glory by the mysteries of heaven Purity and justice guard his throne Kindness and mercy abound in his glory

Mei Tehom 04:22
Isaiah 51:9-10 עוּרִ֨י עוּרִ֤י לִבְשִׁי־עֹז֙ זְר֣וֹעַ יְהֹוָ֔ה ע֚וּרִי כִּ֣ימֵי קֶ֔דֶם דֹּר֖וֹת עוֹלָמִ֑ים הֲל֥וֹא אַתְּ־הִ֛יא הַמַּחְצֶ֥בֶת רַ֖הַב מְחוֹלֶ֥לֶת תַּנִּֽין Awake, awake, clothe yourself with splendor. O arm of the LORD! Awake as in days of old, As in former ages! It was you that hacked Rahab in pieces, That pierced the Dragon. הֲל֤וֹא אַתְּ־הִיא֙ הַמַּחֲרֶ֣בֶת יָ֔ם מֵ֖י תְּה֣וֹם רַבָּ֑ה הַשָּׂ֙מָה֙ מַֽעֲמַקֵּי־יָ֔ם דֶּ֖רֶךְ לַעֲבֹ֥ר גְּאוּלִֽים Was it not you that dried up the sea, The waters of the great deep; That made the abysses of the sea a road the redeemed might walk?

about

Genesis 1:2 בראשית א:ב

וְהָאָ֗רֶץ הָיְתָ֥ה תֹ֙הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ וְחֹ֖שֶׁךְ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י תְה֑וֹם וְר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֔ים מְרַחֶ֖פֶת עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הַמָּֽיִם

"...and the earth then was welter and waste and darkness over the deep and God's breath hovering over the waters..." (trans. Robert Alter)

Bereshit Rabba 2:4 בראשית רבה ב:ד

"Reish Lakish solved the Verse...By what merit is the spirit of redemption made usable and brought into the world? The answer can be found in the verse: "...Hovers over the face of the waters" (Genesis 1:2) - meaning that it is by the merit of teshuva (repentance), which is likened to water, as it is said, "Pour out your heart like water." (Lamentations 2:19)." (trans. Sam Tygiel)
