Psalms 104:9

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

Thou hast set {H7760} a bound {H1366} that they may not pass over {H5674}; that they turn not again {H7725} to cover {H3680} the earth {H776}.

You determined a boundary they could not cross; they were never to cover the earth again.

You set a boundary they cannot cross, that they may never again cover the earth.

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.
