Psalm 104:7-9
New Catholic Bible

7 At your rebuke[a] the waters took to flight;
    at the sound of your thunder they fled in terror.
8 They rose up to the mountains
    and flowed down to the valleys,[b]
    to the place that you had designated for them.
9 You established a boundary that they were not to cross
    so that they would never again cover the earth.
