<p class="poetry">One deep stream calls out to another<n id="1" /> at the sound of your waterfalls;<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">all your billows and waves overwhelm me.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">when the waters become hard<n id="1" /> like stone,p> <p class="poetry">when the surface of the deep is frozen solid?p>

<p class="poetry">when he established the clouds above,p> <p class="poetry">when the fountains of the deep grew strong,<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">Have you gone to the springs that fill the sea,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">or walked about in the recesses of the deep?p>

<p class="poetry">It leaves a glistening wake behind it;p> <p class="poetry">one would think the deep had a head of white hair.p>

<p class="poetry">The watery deep covered it<n id="1" /> like a garment;p> <p class="poetry">the waters reached<n id="2" /> above the mountains.<n id="3" />p>

The fountains of the deep and the floodgates of heaven were closed,<n id="1" /> and the rain stopped falling from the sky.

<p class="poetry">The deep<n id="1" /> says, &#8216;It is not with<n id="2" /> me.&#8217;p> <p class="poetry">And the sea says, &#8216;It is not with me.&#8217;p>

<p class="poetry">Your justice is like the highest mountains,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">your fairness like the deepest sea;p> <p class="poetry">you preserve<n id="2" /> mankind and the animal kingdom.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">When he established the heavens, I was there;p> <p class="poetry">when he marked out the horizon<n id="1" /> over the face of the deep,p>

<p class="poetry">Water engulfed me up to my neck;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">the deep ocean<n id="2" /> surrounded me;p> <p class="poetry">seaweed<n id="3" /> was wrapped around my head.p>

<p class="poetry">When the mountains see you, they shake.p> <p class="poetry">The torrential downpour sweeps through.<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">The great deep<n id="2" /> shouts out;p> <p class="poetry">it lifts its hands high.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> the earth<n id="2" /> was without shape and empty,<n id="3" /> and darkness<n id="4" /> was over the surface of the watery deep,<n id="5" /> but the Spirit of God<n id="6" /> was moving<n id="7" /> over the surface<n id="8" /> of the water.<n id="9" />

<p class="poetry">because of the God of your father,p> <p class="poetry">who will help you,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">because of the sovereign God,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">who will bless you<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">with blessings from the sky above,p> <p class="poetry">blessings from the deep that lies below,p> <p class="poetry">and blessings of the breasts and womb.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">Did you not dry up the sea,p> <p class="poetry">the waters of the great deep?p> <p class="poetry">Did you not make<n id="1" /> a path through the depths of the sea,p> <p class="poetry">so those delivered from bondage<n id="2" /> could cross over?p>

<p class="poetry">The water made it grow;p> <p class="poetry">underground springs made it grow tall.p> <p class="poetry">Rivers flowed all around the place it was planted,p> <p class="poetry">while smaller channels watered all the trees of the field.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="bodytext">The sovereign <sc>Lordsc> showed me this: I saw<n id="1" /> the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> summoning a shower of fire.<n id="2" /> It consumed the great deep and devoured the fields.p>

<p class="bodytext">In the six hundredth year of Noah&#8217;s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month &#8211; on that day all the fountains of the great deep<n id="1" /> burst open and the floodgates of the heavens<n id="2" /> were opened.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;For this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: When I make you desolate like the uninhabited cities, when I bring up the deep over you and the surging<n id="1" /> waters overwhelm you,

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: On the day it<n id="1" /> went down to Sheol I caused observers to lament.<n id="2" /> I covered it with the deep and held back its rivers; its plentiful water was restrained. I clothed Lebanon in black for it, and all the trees of the field wilted because of it.
