5 Who decided how large it would be?Who stretched the measuring line over it?Do you know all the answers?
6 What holds up the pillars that support the earth?Who laid the cornerstone of the world?
7 In the dawn of that day the stars sang together,and the heavenly beings shouted for joy.
8 Who closed the gates to hold back the seawhen it burst from the womb of the earth?
9 It was I who covered the sea with cloudsand wrapped it in darkness.
10 I marked a boundary for the seaand kept it behind bolted gates.
11 I told it, “So far and no farther!Here your powerful waves must stop.”
