肇基址於海中、立四維於淵際兮、

滄溟之上。肇建寰宇。狂瀾是鎮。中流砥柱。

for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.

for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.

For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths.

for he laid its foundation on the seas and established it on the rivers.

For He has founded it upon the seas And established it upon the rivers.

For he set its foundation upon the seas, and established it upon the ocean currents.

For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

He spread out the earth on the waters. His faithful love continues forever.

He placed the earth on its foundations. It can never be moved.You, Lord, covered it with the oceans like a blanket. The waters covered the mountains.

Shouldn’t you have respect for me?’ announces the Lord.‘ Shouldn’t you tremble with fear in front of me? I made the sand to hold the ocean back. It will do that forever. The ocean can’t go past it. The waves might roll, but they can’t sweep over it. They might roar, but they can’t go across it.

God said,“ Let the water under the sky be gathered into one place. Let dry ground appear.” And that’s exactly what happened.God called the dry ground“ land.” He called all the water that was gathered together“ seas.” And God saw that it was good.

Say to the nations,“ The Lord rules.” The world is firmly set in place. It can’t be moved. The Lord will judge the people of the world fairly.

The Lord speaks to the Jews living in Babylon. He says,“ Here is what you must tell the people of the nations. Tell them,‘ Your gods did not make the heavens and the earth. In fact, these gods will disappear from the earth. They will vanish from under the heavens.’ ”But God used his power to make the earth. His wisdom set the world in place. His understanding spread out the heavens.When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar. He makes clouds rise from one end of the earth to the other. He sends lightning along with the rain. He brings the wind out from his storerooms.No one has any sense or knows anything at all. Everyone who works with gold is put to shame by his gods. The metal gods he has made are fakes. They can’t even breathe.They are worthless things that people make fun of. When the Lord judges them, they will be destroyed.The God of Jacob is not like them. He gives his people everything they need. He made everything that exists. And that includes Israel. They are the people who belong to him. His name is the Lord Who Rules Over All.

He owns the deepest parts of the earth. The mountain peaks belong to him.

Long ago, God’s word brought the heavens into being. His word separated the earth from the waters. And the waters surrounded it. But these people forget things like that on purpose.The waters also flooded the world of that time. And so they destroyed the world.By God’s word the heavens and earth of today are being reserved for fire. They are being kept for the day when God will judge. Then ungodly people will be destroyed.

The Lord rules. He puts on majesty as if it were clothes. The Lord puts on majesty and strength. Indeed, the world has been set in place. It is firm and secure.

“ Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you know.

The heavens were made when the Lord commanded it to happen. All the stars were created by the breath of his mouth.

“ As long as the earth lasts, there will always be a time to plant and a time to gather the crops. As long as the earth lasts, there will always be cold and heat. There will always be summer and winter, day and night.”

“ Who created the ocean? Who caused it to be born?I put clouds over it as if they were its clothes. I wrapped it in thick darkness.I set limits for it. I put its doors and metal bars in place.I said,‘ You can come this far. But you can’t come any farther. Here is where your proud waves have to stop.’
