He Divided the Waters

Under the firmament.
Whatsoever the Lord pleased,
that did he in the seas,
and all the deep places.

upon the face of the deep.
The sea is his,
and he made it:

making their waters deep.

and divided the sea with his power
and by strength
and divided the waters,
and it was so.

fountains of the deep
and treadeth upon the
waves of the sea.
The channels of the sea appeared
and he weigheth the waters
by measure
and bound the waters in a garment.
The abundance of the sea
in the hollow of his hand.
He gathereth the waters

p. 57

as in a heap:
He layeth up the deep in storehouses
the burden of the desert of the sea.
He rulest the raging of the sea;
when the waves thereof arise,
Thou stillest them.

the gathering together
of the waters called the seas.
He compassed the
waters with bounds.
He gave the sea his decree,
