Psalms 3

1 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest or who hath stretched the line upon it? 2 Upon what are its bases grounded? or who laid the corner stone thereof, 3 When the morning stars praised me together, and all the sons of God made a joyful melody? 4 Who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth as issuing out of the womb: 5 When I made a cloud the garment thereof, and wrapped it in a mist as in swaddling bands? 6 I set my bounds around it, and made it bars and doors: 7 And I said: Hitherto thou shalt come, and shalt go no further, and here thou shalt break thy swelling waves. 8 Didst thou since thy birth command the morning, and shew the dawning of the day its place?
