When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

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

Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand {for} the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

For this {is as} the waters of Noah unto me: for {as} I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

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

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. {While...: Heb. As yet all the days of the earth}

Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand {for} the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

When he prepared the heavens, I {was} there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: {a compass: or, a circle}

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry {land} appear: and it was so.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

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

And brake up for it my decreed {place}, and set bars and doors, {brake...: or, established my decree upon it}

That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths {to} the house thereof? {to the bound: or, at, etc}
