You (A)covered it with the deep sea as with a garment;
The waters were standing above the mountains.
They fled from Your (B)rebuke,
At the (C)sound of Your thunder they hurried away.
The mountains rose; the valleys sank down
To the (D)place which You established for them.
You set a (E)boundary so that they will not pass over,
So that they will not return to cover the earth.

You covered it(A) with the watery depths(B) as with a garment;
    the waters stood(C) above the mountains.
But at your rebuke(D) the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder(E) they took to flight;
they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned(F) for them.
You set a boundary(G) they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.

And has founded His vaulted dome over the earth,
He who (B)calls for the waters of the sea
And (C)pours them out on the face of the earth,
(D)The Lord is His name.
