Isaiah makes a hefty contribution to our language - I make it 18 phrases:

Here are my King's English posts on Job and Psalms collected together:

.

Job

The LORD gave and the LORD hath taken away

Man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upwards

Escaped by the skin of my teeth

I know that my Redeemer liveth

Gird up thy loins

I repent in dust and ashes

Old and full of days

.

Psalms

Blessed

The heavens declare the glory of God

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Laughed to scorn

The LORD is my Shepherd

The valley of the shadow

My cup runneth over

To the ends of the earth

Bite the dust

Threescore years and ten

Strength to strength

As the flower of the field, so he flourisheth

At their wits' end

Praise the LORD

.
