Psalms 104:5-9

Psalms 104

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

5He set the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.

6You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

7At Your rebuke the waters fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away—

8the mountains rose and the valleys sank to the place You assigned for them—

9You set a boundary they cannot cross, that they may never again cover the earth.
