⁵ He set the earth^(A) on its foundations;^(B)
    it can never be moved.
⁶ You covered it^(C) with the watery depths^(D) as with a garment;
    the waters stood^(E) above the mountains.
⁷ But at your rebuke^(F) the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder^(G) they took to flight;
⁸ they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned^(H) for them.
⁹ You set a boundary^(I) they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.

²⁴ How many are your works,^(A) Lord!
    In wisdom you made^(B) them all;
    the earth is full of your creatures.^(C)
25 There is the sea,^(D) vast and spacious,
    teeming with creatures beyond number—
    living things both large and small.^(E)
26 There the ships^(F) go to and fro,
    and Leviathan,^(G) which you formed to frolic^(H) there.^(I)

²⁷ All creatures look to you
    to give them their food^(J) at the proper time.
²⁸ When you give it to them,
    they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
    they are satisfied^(K) with good things.
²⁹ When you hide your face,^(L)
    they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
    they die and return to the dust.^(M)
30 When you send your Spirit,^(N)
    they are created,
    and you renew the face of the ground.
