"Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,
When I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,
when I said, 'This far you may come
and no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt'?"
Job 38:8-11
"They that go down to the sea in ships,
that do business in great waters;
These see the works of the Lord, and
his wonders in the deep.
For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,
which lifteth up the waves thereof.
They mount up to the heaven, they go down again
to the depths:
Their soul is melted because of trouble.
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
and are at their wits end.
Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble,
and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves therof are still,
then are they glad because they be quiet;
So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
Psalm 107:23-30
