⁶ You covered it^(A) with the watery depths^(B) as with a garment;
    the waters stood^(C) above the mountains.
⁷ But at your rebuke^(D) the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder^(E) they took to flight;
⁸ they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned^(F) for them.
⁹ You set a boundary^(G) they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.

²³ Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills^(A)
    and mountains is a deception;
surely in the Lord our God
    is the salvation^(B) of Israel.

¹⁵ If he holds back the waters,^(A) there is drought;^(B)
    if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.^(C)
