And God said,“ Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.

God said,“ Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;” and it was so.

Long ago, God’s word brought the heavens into being. His word separated the earth from the waters. And the waters surrounded it. But these people forget things like that on purpose.

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.

The ocean is his, because he made it. He formed the dry land with his hands.

He answered,“ I’m a Hebrew. I worship the Lord. He is the God of heaven. He made the sea and the dry land.”

Every stream flows into the ocean. But the ocean never gets full. The streams return to the place they came from.

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

That was when he put the clouds above. It was when he fixed the ocean springs in place.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.

He marks out the place where the sky meets the sea. He marks out the boundary between light and darkness.

“ 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.’

The earth belongs to the Lord. And so does everything in it. The world belongs to him. And so do all those who live in it.He set it firmly on the oceans. He made it secure on the waters.

He made a promise in the name of the God who lives for ever and ever. This is the God who created the sky, earth and sea and all that is in them. The angel said,“ There will be no more waiting!

He placed the earth on its foundations. It can never be moved.You, Lord, covered it with the oceans like a blanket. The waters covered the mountains.But you commanded the waters, and they ran away. At the sound of your thunder they rushed off.They flowed down the mountains. They went into the valleys. They went to the place you appointed for them.You drew a line they can’t cross. They will never cover the earth again.

By his understanding he made the heavens. His faithful love continues forever.He spread out the earth on the waters. His faithful love continues forever.

He builds his palace high in the heavens. He makes the clouds serve as his chariot. He rides on the wings of the wind.

He spreads out the northern skies over empty space. He hangs the earth over nothing.
