我為海定界限，又安置門閂和門戶，

为它定界限，又安门和闩，

为它定界限，又安门和闩，

为它定界限，又安门和闩，

是我为它划定界限，并安上门和闩，

我为海定界限，又安置门闩和门户，

為它定界限，又安門和閂，

為它定界限，又安門和閂，

為它定界限，又安門和閂，

是我為它劃定界限，並安上門和閂，

我為它定了界限，安設門閂門戶，

為定界限、而設門楗、

定其界址、設其門楗、

為定界限、為設門楗、

when I fixed limits for it and set its doors and bars in place,

I set limits for it. I put its doors and metal bars in place.

and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors,

For I locked it behind barred gates, limiting its shores.

when I determined its boundaries and put its bars and doors in place,

And I placed boundaries on it And set a bolt and doors,

When I fixed My limit for it, And set bars and doors;

And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors,

when I determined its boundaries and put its bars and doors in place,

And brake up for it my decreed[ place], and set bars and doors,

when I prescribed its limits, and set in place its bolts and doors,

marked out for it my bound, set bars and doors,

你定了界限，使眾水不能越過；它們不再轉回掩蓋大地。

‘你們連我都不懼怕嗎？在我面前你們也不戰兢嗎？’這是耶和華的宣告。‘我以沙作海的疆界，作永遠的界限，海就不能越過；波浪翻騰，卻不能漫過；怒濤澎湃，仍無法逾越。

在水面劃出界限，直到光與暗的交界。

我就記念我與你們和一切有生命的活物所立的約：水不再成為洪水，來毀滅凡有生命的。

神說：“天下的水要聚在一處，使旱地露出來！”事就這樣成了。神稱旱地為地，稱水的聚處為海。神看這是好的。

他把海水聚集成壘（“成壘”或譯：“在皮袋裡”），把深海安放在庫房中。
