⁹ The measure thereof is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea.

²⁴ For he looketh to the ends of the earth, And seeth under the whole heaven;

²⁵ To make a weight for the wind: Yea, he meteth out the waters by measure.

⁵ By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, Oh God of our salvation, Thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of them that are afar off upon the sea:

⁶ Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains, Being girded about with might;

⁷ Who stilleth the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.

⁸ They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

⁹ If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

¹⁰ Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me.
