(A)Who closed the gates to hold back the sea[a]
    when it burst from the womb of the earth?
It was I who covered the sea with clouds
    and wrapped it in darkness.
10 I marked a boundary for the sea
    and kept it behind bolted gates.
11 I told it, “So far and no farther!
    Here your powerful waves must stop.”
