  1. Psalm 33:7 Or sea as into a heap

22 (A)Do you not fear me? declares the Lord.
    Do you not tremble before me?
I placed the sand (B)as the boundary for the sea,
    a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass;
though the waves toss, they cannot prevail;
    though (C)they roar, they cannot pass over it.
