The Lord merely spoke,
    and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
    and all the stars were born.
He assigned the sea its boundaries
    and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.
Let the whole world fear the Lord,
    and let everyone stand in awe of him.
For when he spoke, the world began!
    It appeared at his command.

He gathers the waters(D) of the sea into jars[a];(E)
    he puts the deep into storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the Lord;(F)
    let all the people of the world(G) revere him.(H)
For he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded,(I) and it stood firm.
