Psalms 33:7

¹⁶the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off. Then the people passed over near Jericho.

⁸With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

¹³It shall be that when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of GOD, ^[+] the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan will be cut off. The waters that come down from above shall stand in one heap.”

⁹God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;” and it was so. ¹⁰God called the dry land “earth”, and the gathering together of the waters he called “seas”. God saw that it was good.

⁶You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains. ⁷At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away. ⁸The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them. ⁹You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.

²²Don’t you fear me?’ says the LORD; ‘Won’t you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it can’t pass it? Though its waves toss themselves, yet they can’t prevail. Though they roar, they still can’t pass over it.’

¹⁰He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.

¹⁵You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters.

²⁹when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
