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

the waters stood above the mountains.

7 But at your rebuke the waters fled,

at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;

8 they flowed over the mountains,

they went down into the valleys,

to the place you assigned for them.

9 You set a boundary they cannot cross;

never again will they cover the earth.

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

the waters stood above the mountains.

7 At your rebuke they fled;

at the sound of your thunder they took to flight.

8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down

to the place that you appointed for them.

9 You set a boundary that they may not pass,

so that they might not again cover the earth.

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: The waters stood above the mountains. 7 At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys Unto the place which thou hast founded for them. 9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.

6 You clothed the earth with floods of water,

water that covered even the mountains.

7 At your command, the water fled;

at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.

8 Mountains rose and valleys sank

to the levels you decreed.

9 Then you set a firm boundary for the seas,

so they would never again cover the earth.

6 You covered the earth with oceans;

the water was above the mountains.

7 But at your command, the water rushed away.

When you thundered your orders, it hurried away.

8 The mountains rose; the valleys sank.

The water went to the places you made for it.

9 You set borders for the seas that they cannot cross,

so water will never cover the earth again.

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture;

The waters stood above the mountains.

7 At thy rebuke they fled;

At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away

8 (The mountains rose, the valleys sank down)

Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

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

That they turn not again to cover the earth.

6 Thou hadst covered it with the deep, as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains: 7 At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away; — 8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them; — 9 Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.

6 You covered the earth with an ocean as though it were a robe. 

Water stood above the mountains 

7 and fled because of your threat. 

Water ran away at the sound of your thunder. 

8 The mountains rose and the valleys sank 

to the place you appointed for them. 

9 Water cannot cross the boundary you set 

and cannot come back to cover the earth. 

6 You covered it with the deep

as if it were a garment;

the waters stood above the mountains.

7 At Your rebuke the waters fled;

at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away —

8 mountains rose and valleys sank —

to the place You established for them.

9 You set a boundary they cannot cross;

they will never cover the earth again.

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

the waters stood above the mountains.

7 At your rebuke they flee;

at the sound of your thunder they take to flight.

8 They rose up to the mountains, ran down to the valleys

to the place that you appointed for them.

9 You set a boundary that they may not pass,

so that they might not again cover the earth.

6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment.

The waters stood above the mountains.

7 At your rebuke they fled;

at the sound of your thunder they ran off.

8 They ascended the mountains and drained through the valleys

to the place that you established for them.

9 You set a boundary that they may not cross over,

so that they would not return to cover the earth.

6 You covered it with the oceans like a blanket.

The waters covered the mountains.

7 But you commanded the waters, and they ran away.

At the sound of your thunder they rushed off.

8 They flowed down the mountains.

They went into the valleys.

They went to the place you appointed for them.

9 You drew a line they can’t cross.

They will never cover the earth again.

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

The waters were standing above the mountains.

7 At Your rebuke they fled,

At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away.

8 The mountains rose; the valleys sank down

To the place which You established for them.

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

So that they will not return to cover the earth.
