ESVEnglish Standard Version

The mountains rose, the valleys sank down

to the place that you appointed for them.

You set a boundary that they may not pass,

so that they might not again cover the earth.

You make springs gush forth in the valleys;

they flow between the hills;

NIVNew International Version (2011)

they flowed over the mountains,

they went down into the valleys,

to the place you assigned for them.

You set a boundary they cannot cross;

never again will they cover the earth.

He makes springs pour water into the ravines;

it flows between the mountains.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

mountains rose and valleys sank—

to the place you established for them.

You set a boundary they cannot cross;

they will never cover the earth again.

He causes the springs to gush into the valleys;

they flow between the mountains.

NLTNew Living Translation

Mountains rose and valleys sank

to the levels you decreed.

Then you set a firm boundary for the seas,

so they would never again cover the earth.

You make springs pour water into the ravines,

so streams gush down from the mountains.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

They ascended the mountains and drained through the valleys

to the place that you established for them.

You set a boundary that they may not cross over,

so that they would not return to cover the earth.

You are the one who sends forth springs into the valleys;

they flow between the mountains.
