The ocean depths raise their voice, O LORD; they raise their voice and roar.

The LORD rules supreme in heaven, greater than the roar of the ocean, more powerful than the waves of the sea.

I told it, "So far and no farther! Here your powerful waves must stop."

I am the LORD; why don't you fear me? Why don't you tremble before me? I placed the sand as the boundary of the sea, a permanent boundary that it cannot cross. The sea may toss, but it cannot go beyond it; the waves may roar, but they cannot break through.
