Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever . Who: Heb. He hath founded the earth upon her bases
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. They go up: or, The mountains ascend, the valleys descend
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
