⁵ You set the earth on its foundations,
    so that it shall never be shaken.^(A)
6 You cover it with the deep as with a garment;
    the waters stood above the mountains.^(B)
7 At your rebuke they flee;
    at the sound of your thunder they take to flight.
⁸ They rose up to the mountains, ran down to the valleys,
    to the place that you appointed for them.^(C)
9 You set a boundary that they may not pass,
    so that they might not again cover the earth.^(D)

¹⁰ You make springs gush forth in the valleys;
    they flow between the hills,^(E)
11 giving drink to every wild animal;
    the wild asses quench their thirst.^(F)
12 By the streams^[a] the birds of the air have their habitation;
    they sing among the branches.^(G)
13 From your lofty abode you water the mountains;
    the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.^(H)
