22 Have you no respect for me?
    Why don’t you tremble in my presence?

The waves may toss and roar,
    but they can never pass the boundaries I set.

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

You placed the world on its foundation
    so it would never be moved.
You clothed the earth with floods of water,
    water that covered even the mountains.
At your command, the water fled;
    at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.
Mountains rose and valleys sank
    to the levels you decreed.
Then you set a firm boundary for the seas,
    so they would never again 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.
