“He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters
At the boundary of light and darkness.

“Or who enclosed the sea with doors
When, bursting forth, it went out from the womb;

And I said, ‘Thus far you shall come, but no farther;
And here shall your proud waves stop’?

He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

You set a boundary that they may not pass over,
So that they will not return to cover the earth.

When He set for the sea its boundary
So that the water would not transgress His command,
When He marked out the foundations of the earth;

‘Do you not fear Me?’ declares the Lord.
‘Do you not tremble in My presence?
For I have placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
An eternal decree, so it cannot cross over it.
Though the waves toss, yet they cannot prevail;
Though they roar, yet they cannot cross over it.
