4. He makes the winds his messengers,and the flaming fire his attendant.
5. He established the earth on its foundations;it will never be upended.
6. The watery deep covered it like a garment;the waters reached above the mountains.
7. Your shout made the waters retreat;at the sound of your thunderous voice they hurried off –
8. as the mountains rose up,and the valleys went down – to the place you appointed for them.
9. You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross,so that they would not cover the earth again.
10. He turns springs into streams;they flow between the mountains.
11. They provide water for all the animals in the field;the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12. The birds of the sky live beside them;they chirp among the bushes.
13. He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace;the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow.
