da er dem Meer das Ziel setzte und den Wassern, daß sie nicht überschreiten seinen Befehl, da er den Grund der Erde legte:
Cuando ponía a la mar su estatuto, Y a las aguas, que no pasasen su mandamiento; Cuando establecía los fundamentos de la tierra;
cuando puso al mar su límite para que las aguas no traspasaran su mandato, cuando señaló los cimientos de la tierra,
Lorsqu'il donna une limite à la mer, Pour que les eaux n'en franchissent pas les bords, Lorsqu'il posa les fondements de la terre,
Quando egli poneva il suo termine al mare, Talchè le acque non possono trapassare il suo comandamento; Quando egli poneva i fondamenti della terra;
Quando fixava ao mar o seu termo, para que as águas não traspassassem o seu mando, quando compunha os fundamentos da terra.
為滄海定出範圍,使水不越過界限, 奠定大地的根基。
