¹⁰ He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, And to the confines of light and darkness.

⁸ "Or who shut up the sea with doors, When it broke forth from the womb,

⁹ When I made clouds the garment of it, Thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,

¹⁰ Marked out for it my bound, Set bars and doors,

¹¹ And said, 'Here you may come, but no further; Here shall your proud waves be stayed?'

²⁹ When he gave to the sea its boundary, That the waters should not violate his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;

⁷ He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

²² Don't you fear me? says Yahweh: won't you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can't pass it? and though the waves of it toss themselves, yet they can't prevail; though they roar, yet they can't pass over it.

²² While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."

⁶ You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.

⁷ At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

⁸ The mountains rose, The valleys sank down, To the place which you had assigned to them.

⁹ You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; That they don't turn again to cover the earth.

⁹ For this is [as] the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.

¹⁰ For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, says Yahweh who has mercy on you.
