The Hebrew is, And here it shall set it self against the pride of thy waves. As if the Lord had said, if they come here,1 my doors shall meet them, my commands like bars shall stop them, that they shall not be able to go a step further; they shall not conquer my commands, nor break down the doors, nor dissolve the bars, which I have set up. The word rendered waves properly signifies a heap; because waves role in heaps one upon the neck of another.

First, In that this Text makes so particular a description of the provision which God made to keep the sea in order; as soon as it was born, he bound it up in swaddling-bands, and then brake up a decreed place for it, and there set up bars and doors, that it should come no further. He put the sea under confinement.
