It was when he set limits for the sea so that the waters had to obey his command. When the Lord marked out the foundations of the earth, I was there.

为沧海定出界限，使水不越过他的命令，立定大地的根基。

为沧海定出范围，使水不越过界限，奠定大地的根基。

为沧海定出范围，使水不越过界限，奠定大地的根基。

设定沧海的界限，使海水不得越过祂定的范围，为大地奠定根基的时候，

他为海洋定出界限，海水不能越过他的命令，他又划定大地的根基；

他为海洋设立界限，使众水不能违背他的吩咐；他立定了大地的根基——

為滄海定出界限，使水不越過他的命令，立定大地的根基。

為滄海定出範圍，使水不越過界限，奠定大地的根基。

為滄海定出範圍，使水不越過界限，奠定大地的根基。

設定滄海的界限，使海水不得越過祂定的範圍，為大地奠定根基的時候，

他為海洋定出界限，海水不能越過他的命令，他又劃定大地的根基；

他為洋海定出界限，叫水不越犯其命令，他又畫定了大地的根基；

他為海洋設立界限，使眾水不能違背他的吩咐；他立定了大地的根基——

定海之界、使水不違其命、建立大地之基、

命海水勿越其限、定地維不失其界、

為海定限、使水不越岸、並立大地之根基、

when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.

when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,

I was there when he set the limits of the seas, so they would not spread beyond their boundaries. And when he marked off the earth’s foundations,

when he set a limit for the sea so that the waters would not violate his command, when he laid out the foundations of the earth.

When He assigned to the sea its limit, So that the waters would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth,

When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;

when He set a limit for the sea so that the waters would not violate His command, when He laid out the foundations of the earth.

When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

when he gave the sea his decree that the waters should not pass over his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,

when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,

You drew a line they can’t cross. They will never cover the earth again.

God said,“ Let the water under the sky be gathered into one place. Let dry ground appear.” And that’s exactly what happened.God called the dry ground“ land.” He called all the water that was gathered together“ seas.” And God saw that it was good.

He placed the earth on its foundations. It can never be moved.

Shouldn’t you have respect for me?’ announces the Lord.‘ Shouldn’t you tremble with fear in front of me? I made the sand to hold the ocean back. It will do that forever. The ocean can’t go past it. The waves might roll, but they can’t sweep over it. They might roar, but they can’t go across it.

“ Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you know.Who measured it? I am sure you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?What was it built on? Who laid its most important stone?When it happened, the morning stars sang together. All the angels shouted with joy.“ Who created the ocean? Who caused it to be born?I put clouds over it as if they were its clothes. I wrapped it in thick darkness.I set limits for it. I put its doors and metal bars in place.I said,‘ You can come this far. But you can’t come any farther. Here is where your proud waves have to stop.’

He gathers together the waters of the sea. He puts the oceans in their places.
