Psalms 104 — Context

He has made the earth strong on its bases, so that it may not be moved for ever and ever;

Covering it with the sea as with a robe: the waters were high over the mountains;

At the voice of your word they went in flight; at the sound of your thunder they went away in fear;

The mountains came up and the valleys went down into the place which you had made ready for them.

You made a limit over which they might not go, so that the earth would never again be covered by them.

You sent the springs into the valleys; they are flowing between the hills.

They give drink to every beast of the field; the mountain asses come to them for water.
