Psalm 104:5-9
New King James Version
5 You who [a]laid the foundations of the earth,
So that it should not be moved forever,
6 You (A)covered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters stood above the mountains.
7 At Your rebuke they fled;
At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.
8 [b]They went up over the mountains;
They went down into the valleys,
To the place which You founded for them.
9 You have (B)set a boundary that they may not pass over,
(C)That they may not return to cover the earth.

Psalm 104:5-9
New International Version
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.
Psalm 104:24-30
New King James Version
24 (A)O Lord, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all.
The earth is full of Your (B)possessions—
25 This great and wide sea,
In which are innumerable teeming things,
Living things both small and great.
26 There the ships sail about;
There is that (C)Leviathan[a]
Which You have [b]made to play there.
27 (D)These all wait for You,
That You may give them their food in due season.
28 What You give them they gather in;
You open Your hand, they are filled with good.
29 You hide Your face, they are troubled;
(E)You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
30 (F)You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the earth.

New International Version
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.
