(A)It is God who removes the mountains, they know not how,
When He overturns them in His anger;
Who (B)shakes the earth out of its place,

And sets a seal upon the stars;
Who alone (E)stretches out the heavens
And [b](F)tramples down the waves of the sea;
Who makes the (G)Bear, Orion and the Pleiades,
And the (H)chambers of the south;
10 Who (I)does great things, [c]unfathomable,
And wondrous works without number.
