8 And who barricaded the sea behind doors+

When it burst out from the womb,

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

Here is where your proud waves will stop’?+

 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.

 6 He spread out the earth over the waters,+

For his loyal love endures forever.
