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,
He has described a circle on the face of the waters, at the boundary between light and darkness.
You set the earth on its foundations, so that it shall never be shaken.
You set a boundary that they may not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth.
who by understanding made the heavens, for his steadfast love endures forever;
He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle; he put the deeps in storehouses.
The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens;
when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,
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.
Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.”
