    who turns the deep darkness[b] into morning,
    who darkens day into night,
    who calls out to the waters of the sea,
        pouring them out onto the surface of the earth—
    the Lord is his name.

        so that ruin comes upon the fortress.

    detesting the one who speaks truthfully.
