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. ‡

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. ‡
