Discovery BoxPsalms 104:7-9 
Context104:7 Your shout made the waters retreat;
at the sound of your thunderous voice they hurried off –
104:8 as the mountains rose up,
and the valleys went down –
to the place you appointed for them. 1
104:9 You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross,
so that they would not cover the earth again. 2
1 tn Heb “from your shout they fled, from the sound of your thunder they hurried off.”
sn Verses 7-8 poetically depict Gen 1:9-10.
2 tn Heb “a boundary you set up, they will not cross, they will not return to cover the earth.”
