²² Should you not fear^(A) me?” declares the Lord.
    “Should you not tremble^(B) in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,^(C)
    an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
    they may roar,^(D) but they cannot cross it.

⁵ The sea is his, for he made it,
    and his hands formed the dry land.^(A)

⁷ All streams flow into the sea,
    yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
    there they return again.^(A)

²⁸ when he established the clouds above^(A)
    and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,^(B)
29 when he gave the sea its boundary^(C)
    so the waters would not overstep his command,^(D)
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.^(E)

⁷ He gathers the waters^(A) of the sea into jars^[a];^(B)
    he puts the deep into storehouses.

⁵ He set the earth^(A) on its foundations;^(B)
    it can never be moved.
⁶ You covered it^(C) with the watery depths^(D) as with a garment;
    the waters stood^(E) above the mountains.
⁷ But at your rebuke^(F) the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder^(G) they took to flight;
⁸ they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned^(H) for them.
⁹ You set a boundary^(I) they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.
