You (A)covered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters stood above the mountains.
At Your rebuke they fled;
At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.
[a]They went up over the mountains;
They went down into the valleys,
To the place which You founded for them.
You have (B)set a boundary that they may not pass over,
(C)That they may not return to cover the earth.

10 He sends the springs into the valleys;
They flow among the hills.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 104:8 Or The mountains rose up; The valleys sank down

You covered it(A) with the watery depths(B) as with a garment;
    the waters stood(C) above the mountains.
But at your rebuke(D) the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder(E) they took to flight;
they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned(F) for them.
You set a boundary(G) they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.

10 He makes springs(H) pour water into the ravines;
    it flows between the mountains.
