quando aethera firmabat sursum et librabat fontes aquarum

When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

when he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

When He established the clouds above, When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,

when He established the clouds above, when He strengthened the fountains of the deep,

When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong,

And when he empowered the clouds from above and when he strengthened the springs of the depths,

when he established the skies above, when the fountains of the deep became strong;

When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters:

When he made firm the sides above: when the fountains of the deep became strong:

when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,

when he established the skies above, when he determined the currents in the ocean,

when He placed the skies above, when the fountains of the ocean gushed out,

when he made the clouds from above, when the springs of the depths were established,

when he established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep grew strong,

When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became fixed,

when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,

I was there when he set the clouds above, when he established springs deep in the earth.

When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,

I was there when he put the clouds in the sky. I was there when he made streams of water fill the seas.

In His strengthening clouds above, In His making strong fountains of the deep,

I was there when He put the skies above, and when He put the wells of the waters in their place.

I was there when He established the sky. I was there when the springs in the deep were fortified;

“I was there when he established the heavens and formed the great springs in the depths of the oceans. I was there when he set the limits of the seas and gave them his instructions not to spread beyond their boundaries. I was there when he made the blueprint for the earth and oceans.

when he fixed the canopy of the clouds above and limited the fountains of the deep,

When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became strong,

when he established the clouds above, when he strengthened the fountains of the deep,

when he placed the skies above, when the fountains of the ocean gushed out,

When He made firm the skies above, when He established the fountains of the deep,

when he made the clouds above and put the deep underground springs in place.

“God sovereignly made me—the first, the basic— before he did anything else. I was brought into being a long time ago, well before Earth got its start. I arrived on the scene before Ocean, yes, even before Springs and Rivers and Lakes. Before Mountains were sculpted and Hills took shape, I was already there, newborn; Long before God stretched out Earth’s Horizons, and tended to the minute details of Soil and Weather, And set Sky firmly in place, I was there. When he mapped and gave borders to wild Ocean, built the vast vault of Heaven, and installed the fountains that fed Ocean, When he drew a boundary for Sea, posted a sign that said no trespassing, And then staked out Earth’s Foundations, I was right there with him, making sure everything fit. Day after day I was there, with my joyful applause, always enjoying his company, Delighted with the world of things and creatures, happily celebrating the human family.

when he placed the clouds in the sky above, when the fountains of the deep gushed out,

when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,

when he placed the clouds in the sky, when he opened the springs of the ocean

When he made steadfast the air above; and weighed the wells of waters (and set in place the water wells).

I was with him when he placed the clouds in the sky and created the springs that fill the ocean.

when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,

when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,

when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,

when he thickened the clouds above, when he secured the fountains of the deep,

When He made firm the skies above, When the fountains and springs of the deep became fixed and strong,

when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,

When he made firm the skies above, when he fixed fast the springs of the deep;

When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became fixed,

when he ·made [thickened; strengthened] the clouds above and put the deep underground springs in place.

when He established the skies above, when He securely fixed the fountains of the deep,

when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,

That was when he put the clouds above. It was when he fixed the ocean springs in place.

When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

when he set the skies above in place, when the fountains of the deep poured forth,

when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,

When He established the clouds above, when He strengthened the fountains of the tehom,

when he established the skies above, when he determined the currents in the ocean,

when He established the clouds above, when He strengthened the fountains of the deep,

I was there when he put the clouds in the sky and made the deep springs flow.

I was there when he made the clouds above. I was there when he put the fountains in the oceans.

when he made skies from above, when he founded fountains of the deep,

when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
