"Or [who] enclosedthe seawith doorsWhen, burstingforth,it wentout from the womb;
Godmadethe expanse,and separatedthe waterswhichwere belowthe expansefrom the waterswhichwere abovethe expanse;and it was so.
Then Godsaid,"Let the watersbelowthe heavensbe gatheredinto oneplace,and let the drylandappear";and it was so.
"When He impartedweightto the windAnd metedout the watersby measure,
And I placedboundarieson it And seta boltand doors,
When I madea cloudits garmentAnd thickdarknessits swaddlingband,
You coveredit with the deepas with a garment;The waterswere standingabovethe mountains.
They have seenthe worksof the LORD,And His wondersin the deep.
He gathersthe watersof the seatogether as a heap;He laysup the deepsin storehouses.
Whohas ascendedinto heavenand descended?Whohas gatheredthe windin His fists?Whohas wrappedthe watersin His garment?Whohas establishedallthe endsof the earth?Whatis His nameor His son'sname?Surelyyou know!
When He setfor the seaits boundarySo that the waterwould not transgressHis command,When He markedout the foundationsof the earth;
Whohas measuredthe watersin the hollowof His hand,And markedoffthe heavensby the span,And calculatedthe dustof the earthby the measure,And weighedthe mountainsin a balanceAnd the hillsin a pair of scales?
Do you not fearMe?' declaresthe LORD.'Do you not tremblein My presence?For I have placedthe sandas a boundaryfor the sea,An eternaldecree,so it cannotcrossoverit. Though the wavestoss,yet they cannotprevail;Though they roar,yet they cannotcrossoverit.
