Psalms 104:6
Compare all
4 Who makes His1 angels spirits,
His ministers a flame of fire. 
5 You who1 laid the foundations of the earth,
So that it should not be moved forever, 
6 You acovered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters stood above the mountains. 
7 At Your rebuke they fled;
At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.
8 1They went up over the mountains;
They went down into the valleys,
To the place which You founded for them. 
9 You have aset a boundary that they may not pass over,
bThat they may not return to cover the earth. 
10 He sends the springs into the valleys;
They flow among the hills.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field;
The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

Psalms 104:6-9

These verses rather describe the wonders of the flood than the creation (Genesis 7:19-20; II Peter 3:5-6). God's method of arresting the flood and making its waters subside is poetically called a "rebuke" (Psalms 76:6; Isaiah 50:2), and the process of the flood's subsiding by undulations among the hills and valleys is vividly described.
