Job 9:10 He does great things past finding out; yes, marvelous things without number. (Examples given in the context.)

Job 34:10-30

God destroys and replaces the wicked, because they ignored him, and afflicted the poor.

Psalm 44:1-3

Remembering God's works in the past...

Psa 44:1 We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the days of old.

Psalm 72:1-20

Psa 72:18-19 Praise be to Yahweh God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen.

Psalm 78:1-72

This psalm is filled with examples from Israel's history of God's power and works. In spite of all that God did, Israel continued to distrust God and to rebel against him!

Psalm 105:1-45

Psa 105:5 Remember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, ...

The immediate context focuses on God's judgments against Egypt.

Psalm 106:1-48

God's mighty acts of power are consistent with his nature, and completely worthy of the greatest of praise. When we don't view them as worthy of praise, it is because our perspective is influenced by the values of the wicked world, rather than by the righteousness of God.

Isaiah 31:1-9

When you return to God, your enemies will be destroyed – and not by human means! (= an illustration of God's greatness)

Historically, God destroyed the Assyrian army that was threatening Jerusalem (Isaiah 37:36). But the complete abandonment of idolatry (v. 7) has yet to come - so there may also be a future (prophetic) application to this passage.
