But when you shouted,
    the water went back.
It ran away,
    when you shouted like thunder.
The water poured down from the mountains,
    and it went down into the valleys.

You made a border for the water
    so that it could not cross.
Never again will the water cover the earth.[a]

Footnotes

  1. 104:9 See Genesis 1:9-10.

But at your rebuke(A) the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder(B) they took to flight;
they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned(C) for them.
You set a boundary(D) they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.
