6 Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment;

the waters stood above the mountains.

7 At thy rebuke they fled;

at the sound of thy thunder they took to flight.

8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down

to the place which thou didst appoint for them.

9 Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass,

so that they might not again cover the earth.
