Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
God has appointed a boundary for the waters that they are not to cross, so they do not return to cover the earth. This ordering displays divine power in arranging creation and holding earth and sea each within its proper limits. Only God can hold back the sea and keep it confined to the place assigned to it. Even the mighty waves of the ocean submit to their Maker and to His law by staying inside those assigned limits.
