Psalms 104:8
6 You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
7 At Your rebuke the waters fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away—
the mountains rose and the valleys sank to the place You assigned for them—
9 You set a boundary they cannot cross, that they may never again cover the earth.
10 He sends forth springs in the valleys; they flow between the mountains.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
