02:30covered it covered it like a garment the waters reached above the mountains your shout made the waters retreat at
02:38the sound of your thunderous voice they hurried off as the mountains rose up and the valleys went down to
02:45the place you appointed for them
02:48you set up a boundary for them that they could not cross so that they would not cover the earth
02:54again

03:16rooms of his palace the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow
