His skin was covered in scales that acted as armor; each scale was the size of a shield, and none of them could be penetrated by any type of weapon. A Maskil of Asaph. O God, why do you cast us off forever?
Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture? Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage!

God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
