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’?+

29 When he set a decree for the sea

That its waters should not pass beyond his order,+

When he established* the foundations of 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.+
