“Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.”
Psalms 104:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 104:9
God set a boundary (gebul) that waters cannot pass, preventing another flood covering the earth. This recalls God's covenant promise to Noah (Gen 9:11-15). God's restraint of waters demonstrates His faithfulness and protective boundaries in creation. The sea's limits illustrate divine sovereignty—even chaotic forces obey appointed boundaries. Job 38:8-11 similarly describes God setting bars and doors for the sea. This provides assurance that God controls potentially destructive forces. Christ's authority over the sea fulfills this divine prerogative.
