  1. Psalm 33:7 Or sea as into a heap

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

He set the earth(A) on its foundations;(B)
    it can never be moved.
You covered it(C) with the watery depths(D) as with a garment;
    the waters stood(E) above the mountains.
But at your rebuke(F) the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder(G) they took to flight;
they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned(H) for them.
You set a boundary(I) they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
