Genesis 1:7

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. He: Heb. Who run: Heb. walk

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. grass: Heb. tender grass

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, brake...: or, established my decree upon it And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? thy...: Heb. the pride of thy waves

And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
