Who enclosed the sea behind doors when it burst from the womb, when I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its blanket,


He laid out the horizon on the surface of the waters
at the boundary between light and darkness.

Who enclosed the sea behind doors
when it burst from the womb,

when I declared: “You may come this far, but no farther;
your proud waves stop here”?

He gathers the waters of the sea into a heap;
He puts the depths into storehouses.

You set a boundary they cannot cross;
they will never cover the earth again.

when He set a limit for the sea
so that the waters would not violate His command,
when He laid out the foundations of the earth.

Do you not fear Me?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Do you not tremble before Me,
the One who set the sand as the boundary of the sea,
an enduring barrier that it cannot cross?
The waves surge, but they cannot prevail.
They roar but cannot pass over it.
