⁸ “Who shut up the sea behind doors^(A)
    when it burst forth from the womb,^(B)
9 when I made the clouds its garment
    and wrapped it in thick darkness,^(C)
10 when I fixed limits for it^(D)
    and set its doors and bars in place,^(E)
11 when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;^(F)
    here is where your proud waves halt’?^(G)

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands.^(A)
11 They will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.^(B)
12 You will roll them up like a robe;
    like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,^(C)
    and your years will never end.”^[a](D)
