⁸ “Who shut up the sea behind doors^(A)
    when it burst forth from the womb,^(B)
9 when I made the clouds its garment
    and wrapped it in thick darkness,^(C)
10 when I fixed limits for it^(D)
    and set its doors and bars in place,^(E)
11 when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;^(F)
    here is where your proud waves halt’?^(G)

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

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

²⁹ when he gave the sea its boundary^(A)
    so the waters would not overstep his command,^(B)
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.^(C)

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.
