Psalm 104:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 You covered it with the deep like a cloak;
the waters rose above the mountains.
7 At your rebuke[a] the waters took to flight;
at the sound of your thunder they fled in terror.
8 They rose up to the mountains
and flowed down to the valleys,[b]
to the place that you had designated for them.
