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

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，

我為海定界限，又安置門閂和門戶，

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.

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,

You set a boundary they cannot cross; they will never cover the earth again.

Do you not fear me? This is the LORD’s declaration. Do you not tremble before me, the one who set the sand as the boundary of the sea, an enduring barrier that it cannot cross? The waves surge, but they cannot prevail. They roar but cannot pass over it.

He laid out the horizon on the surface of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.

I will remember my covenant between me and you and all the living creatures: water will never again become a flood to destroy every creature.

Then God said,“ Let the water under the sky be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so.God called the dry land“ earth,” and the gathering of the water he called“ seas.” And God saw that it was good.

He gathers the water of the sea into a heap; he puts the depths into storehouses.
