¹⁰ when I fixed limits for it^(A)
    and set its doors and bars in place,^(B)
11 when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;^(C)
    here is where your proud waves halt’?^(D)

⁶ You covered it^(A) with the watery depths^(B) as with a garment;
    the waters stood^(C) above the mountains.
⁷ But at your rebuke^(D) the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder^(E) they took to flight;
⁸ they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned^(F) for them.
⁹ You set a boundary^(G) they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.

²² Should you not fear^(A) me?” declares the Lord.
    “Should you not tremble^(B) in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,^(C)
    an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
    they may roar,^(D) but they cannot cross it.
