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

²² Do you not fear me? says the Lord;
    Do you not tremble before me?
I placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
    a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass;
though the waves toss, they cannot prevail;
    though they roar, they cannot pass over it.^(A)

²⁹ when he assigned to the sea its limit,
    so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,^(A)

²⁶ when he had not yet made earth and fields^[a]
    or the world’s first bits of soil.

⁶ who made heaven and earth,
    the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps faith forever;^(A)

⁷ He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;
    he put the deeps in storehouses.

¹⁰ and prescribed bounds for it,
    and set bars and doors,^(A)
11 and said, ‘Thus far shall you come and no farther,
    and here shall your proud waves be stopped’?^(B)
