Psalm 104:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 You established the earth on its foundations
so that it will remain unshaken forever.[a]
6 You covered it with the deep like a cloak;
the waters rose above the mountains.
7 At your rebuke[b] the waters took to flight;
at the sound of your thunder they fled in terror.
