Psalm 104:6
◄  Psalm 104:6  ►
New International Version (© 2011)
You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

King James Bible
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

American Standard Version
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.

Young's Literal Translation
The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above hills do waters stand.

Psalm 104:6 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Thou coveredst it with the deep - This seems to be spoken in allusion to the creation of the earth, when it was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the waters invested the whole, till God separated the dry land from them; thus forming the seas and the terraqueous globe.

The poet Ovid has nearly the same idea: -

Densior his tellus, elementaque grandia traxit,

Et pressa est gravitate sua; circumfluus humor

Ultima possedit, solidumque coercuit orbem.

Met. lib. i., ver. 29.

Earth sinks beneath, and draws a numerous throng

Of ponderous, thick, unwieldy seeds along:

About her coasts unruly waters roar;

And, rising on a ridge, insult the shore.

Dryden.
