“You split the earth
With rivers.
The mountains saw you.
They writhed,
As a torrent of water
Swept by.
The deep
Gave forth its voice.
It raised high its hands.”
Yahweh split the earth with various rivers, since he controlled everything on earth. When the mountains saw Yahweh, they writhed as they twisted and squirmed, since they were swept away by torrential waters. The deep sea had its own voice. Thus, it raised its hands to Yahweh in compliance, because Yahweh controlled the deep sea as well as the land, the hills, and the rivers.
