³⁰ See how he spreads the lightning around him
    and how it lights up the depths of the sea.

⁵ You placed the world on its foundation
    so it would never be moved.
⁶ You clothed the earth with floods of water,
    water that covered even the mountains.
⁷ At your command, the water fled;
    at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.
⁸ Mountains rose and valleys sank

    Here your proud waves must stop!’

⁴ Pharaoh’s chariots and army

5 The deep waters gushed over them;
    they sank to the bottom like a stone.
