6You acovered it with the deep as with a garment;

The waters were standing above the mountains.

7At Your arebuke they fled,

At the bsound of Your thunder they hurried away in alarm.

8The mountains went up; the valleys went down

To the aplace which You founded for them.

9You set a aboundary that they may not pass over,

So that they will not return to cover the earth.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

You covered it with the deep as with a garment;

the waters stood above the mountains.

At your rebuke they fled;

at the sound of your thunder they took to flight.

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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment;

the waters stood above the mountains.

But at your rebuke the waters fled,

at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;

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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

You covered it with the deep

as if it were a garment;

the water stood above the mountains.

At your rebuke the water fled;

at the sound of your thunder they hurried away—

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.

NLTNew Living Translation

You clothed the earth with floods of water,

water that covered even the mountains.

At your command, the water fled;

at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

You covered it with the deep as with a garment.

The waters stood above the mountains.

At your rebuke they fled;

at the sound of your thunder they ran off.

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment:

The waters stood above the mountains.

At thy rebuke they fled;

At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys

Unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;

That they turn not again to cover the earth.
