8 And who barricaded the sea behind doors+

When it burst out from the womb,

 9 When I clothed it with clouds

And wrapped* it in thick gloom,

10 When I established my limit for it

And put its bars and doors in place,+

11 And I said, ‘You may come this far, and no farther;

Here is where your proud waves will stop’?+

 7 He gathers the seawaters like a dam;+

He puts the surging waters in storehouses.

 7 At your rebuke they fled;+

At the sound of your thunder they ran away in panic

 8 —Mountains ascended+ and valleys descended—

To the place you established for them.

 9 You set a boundary that they should not pass,+

That they should never again cover the earth.

22 ‘Do you not fear me?’ declares Jehovah,

‘Should you not tremble before me?

It is I who placed the sand as the boundary for the sea,

A permanent regulation that it cannot pass over.

Although its waves toss, they cannot prevail;

Although they roar, they still cannot pass beyond it.+
