¹⁹ The waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.

¹⁵ Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up; Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.

² Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, Though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

³ Though the waters of it roar and are troubled, Though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah.

⁶ You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.

⁷ At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

⁸ The mountains rose, The valleys sank down, To the place which you had assigned to them.

⁹ You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; That they don't turn again to cover the earth.

²³ Truly in vain is [the help that is looked for] from the hills, the tumult on the mountains: truly in Yahweh our God is the salvation of Israel.

⁶ by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.
